I'm using Kera XL hair growth serum on the spots where my hairline is receding. I'm really curious if this stuff actually works. Can you tell me if hair serums like this are effective for balding areas, or am I wasting my time?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Kera XL hair growth serum contains minoxidil which is known to promote hair growth. It is commonly used to treat male pattern baldness. For best results, apply 1ml of Kera XL hair growth serum twice daily directly onto the scalp in the hair loss area. Consistent use over a period of several months may be needed to see visible results.

View allI'm a 28-year-old guy and I've just found out my DHT levels are higher than the normal range; mine are 1221 pgml, while the normal range is 250-990. I've noticed I'm also dealing with an itchy scalp and hair loss. Could there be a link between my high DHT levels and these issues? I'm really curious if that's what's causing it and what I should do about it.

I'm thinking about using a derma roller for my face, but I'm not entirely sure how to properly sanitize it. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Dettol or Savlon to clean it. Could you walk me through the sanitizing process? I'm a bit worried about making sure it's safe to use on my skin.
While Dettol or Savlon can be used to sanitize a derma roller, a more recommended approach is to soak the derma roller in a mixture of 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or ethanol for 5-10 minutes, then rinse with sterile or distilled water, and let air-dry; this method is gentler on the needles and more effective against bacteria and other microorganisms.

I'm really concerned about my nose piercing. It's been 4 months and it hasn't healed properly yet. There's no pain, but it's discolored and there's redness around the piercing. Plus, there's this black mark and a bump that's not making it look neat at all. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?
It seems like you may be experiencing a keloid or hypertrophic scar formation around your nose piercing. To help with the healing process and reduce the discoloration and bump, you can try using over-the-counter silicone gel sheets to flatten and reduce the scar tissue. Additionally, applying a topical corticosteroid cream like Betamethasone 0.1% twice a day can help reduce inflammation and redness. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid any trauma to the piercing site.
