I'm thinking about using biotin to help with facial hair growth. Does it actually work for that, or is it just a myth? I'm also a bit worriedare there any side effects I should know about before trying it out?

I've been waxing my arms today and ended up with these bad bruises right in that bendy area where nurses usually take blood samples. It's not like it's my first time waxing, but this is definitely the first time I've gotten bruises like this. Is it normal for this to happen? What might be causing these bruises?

It is not normal to develop bruises after waxing, especially if this is the first time it has happened. The bruising may be due to excessive force during the waxing process or possibly using a wax that was too hot. To help with the bruising and promote healing, you can apply a topical arnica gel or cream to the affected areas. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen can help with any discomfort. If the bruising does not improve or if you experience any signs of infection such as increased pain, redness, or swelling, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm really curious about something. When I work out, I tend to sweat a lot from my entire body, but there are parts of my face, like my cheeks, nose, and chin, where I don't sweat at all. Meanwhile, my forehead is always drenched. Should I be worried that not sweating in those areas might be a sign of a bigger problem? Does not sweating mean I'll have a harder time losing fat from those specific spots? I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to start sweating there, or if it's even necessary for fat loss in those areas. What do you think?

My skin has been noticeably darker ever since I had typhoid about five years ago. I recently did a blood test, and everything came back normal, but my skin tone just seems to keep getting darker. It's really worrying me, and I'm trying to understand why this is happening and what I can do about it. Could there be some underlying issue that's causing this, even if my blood work looks fine?
