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've been getting these cyst-like things on my waist, mostly on one side. They fill up with pus and blood and stick around for about 35 days before they finally go away. It sometimes happens under my thighs too, but not as often. It's kind of worrying me. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

I recently got my hair smoothened and I've been reading up on aftercare. A doctor mentioned Keraglo eva tablets might be a good idea, but I'm worried about any major side effects. Do you think it's safe to take these tablets?
