I'm trying to figure out whether I should be bleaching my face before or after getting a facial. I'm 25 with skin that's a bit oily and darker. Can you suggest which bleach and facial treatments would be best for me, and how often I should be doing this each month?

I'm having this bubble since August 29th. It was painful at first but now the pain's gone, though the bubble hasn't disappeared. Also, I've been having some pain in my right shoulder. Who should I reach out to for help with this?

It sounds like you're dealing with a persistent bubble, along with shoulder pain. Given the duration and combination of symptoms, I recommend consulting a physician, ideally an orthopedic specialist or a general practitioner, who can assess both the bubble and shoulder pain to provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been experiencing this really annoying itch on my scalp, especially at the back, whenever I apply any type of hair oil. I've tried different ones like almond and mustard oil, but nothing seems to help. I actually went to a dermatologist who said my scalp looks fine and advised me to stop using hair oil altogether. But I'm still curious why this itch happens only with oils. Is there something else I should be doing or trying?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
