I'm wondering if it's okay to keep taking 5mg biotin tablets forever for my hair, skin, and nails. I've been experiencing hair fall for about a year now and I'm also considering taking Follihair. Can you tell me if there are any side effects from using Follihair and biotin regularly for a long time?

Biotin 5mg tablets can be beneficial for improving hair, skin, and nail health when taken regularly. However, it is important to note that individual responses may vary. Follihair is a combination supplement that contains biotin along with other vitamins and minerals that are beneficial for hair health. It can help in reducing hair fall and promoting hair growth. When taken as directed, biotin and Follihair are generally safe for long-term use. Side effects are rare, but some individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea or diarrhea. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking other medications.

I'm dealing with seborrheic dermatitis for a few months now and got some worries. Is this something that can even be fully cured? Also, how long does treatment usually take? Should I be thinking about getting an HIV test because of this? And finally, when I go for a haircut, is there a high risk of picking up infections at the barbershop because of my condition?
1. Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic condition, but it can be managed and symptoms can be reduced with treatment and its totally curable also 2. Treatment duration varies, but significant improvement can be seen within 2-6 weeks with topical treatments, and 3-6 months with oral medications. 3. While seborrheic dermatitis can be more common in people with HIV, a diagnosis of seborrheic dermatitis does not necessarily warrant an HIV test, unless you have other risk factors or symptoms. 4. Seborrheic dermatitis is not contagious, and you cannot spread it to others or get infected through contact with contaminated skin or barber equipment.
