I'm using mustard, olive, almond, jojoba, castor, and coconut oils and I'm thinking about using all of them to help with my hair growth and thickness. Do you think it'd be fine to mix all these oils together and massage them into my scalp, or would it be better to use them individually on different days? I'm mainly wondering if there's any risk of side effects from mixing them since theyre all natural and cold-pressed. What do you suggest?

Mixing different oils for hair growth and thickness can be beneficial as each oil has its own unique properties that can nourish the hair and scalp. You can mix all these oils together for a potent hair treatment. There are generally no side effects to using natural, cold-pressed oils on your hair. You can also rotate the oils if you prefer. For example, you can apply castor oil one day and jojoba oil the next day. This can help ensure that your hair receives a variety of nutrients and benefits from each type of oil. Just make sure to massage the oil into your scalp and hair roots for maximum effectiveness.

View allMy sister has been dealing with white patches on both sides of her lower lips, around 2 cm each, for the past 3 years. We've tried treatments but nothing worked, and now the doctor is suggesting surgery. She's really upset because it's affecting her confidence and even marriage prospects. Is surgery the only option or are there other ways to treat these white patches?

I'm trying to figure out the best lotion for dealing with dandruff. Should I go with Topisal lotion or Dfree lotion? Could you help me understand which one might offer better results? What are the benefits of each? I'm looking for a clear recommendation on which is best.
For dandruff, **Topisal lotion** (salicylic acid-based) is great if you have thick flakes or scalp buildup, as it exfoliates and reduces scaling. **D'Free lotion** (ketoconazole-based) is better if dandruff is due to fungal infections, as it targets the root cause. If your dandruff is mild and itchy, go with D'Free for better long-term results. For severe scaling, start with Topisal and then switch to D'Free.

It's understandable that you're concerned about your lips. Persistent dryness, peeling, and changes in their shape can be distressing. While there isn't a single magic fix, there are treatments and lifestyle changes that can help improve your lip health and potentially reverse some of the changes you're experiencing.
