I'm using Ilumax skin brightening cream by Ajanta to help with tanning and get a fairer skin tone. I'm curious, how long does it usually take to start seeing results with this cream? Also, how long should I continue using it to maintain the fairness? I'm a bit worried about what happens after I stop using the cream. Will my skin get darker again? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Can homeopathy really cure herpes? I'm worried if this is just a scam for money or if there's some truth to it. Any information would help.

While some homeopathic remedies claim to treat herpes, there is no scientific evidence to support their effectiveness, and many experts consider these claims to be unsubstantiated and potentially fraudulent, as the US FDA and National Institutes of Health (NIH) have not approved any homeopathic remedies for herpes treatment.

I'm a bit concerned about my hair situation. I've been using the androanagen solution with sebowash shampoo as my dermatologist prescribed. But recently, they switched my shampoo to anaphase, and now I'm noticing more hair falling out, especially from the crown area. I'm worried it might be the new shampoo. What do you think I should do?

If hair fall is noticeable due to anaphase shampoo then stop using it and visit Dermatologist for alternate treatment.

I'm 37 and have been dealing with severe acne for years. My doctor put me on Sotret 20 mg, but I'm also experiencing hair fall. He advised me to try Adgain for it. I'm a bit concerned and curious if it's safe to take both Adgain and Sotret together. Will there be any negative effects?
