I'm worried because I applied chuna powder on my mole, and now it's healing. How long will it take to heal completely? Will there be any scars? Can you recommend any ointments I can get in India to speed up the healing process?

It is important to keep the area clean and protected while it heals. You can apply Silverex cream twice a day to help with the healing process and reduce the risk of scarring. Make sure to consult a doctor if you notice any signs of infection or if the mole does not heal properly.

View allIs minoxidil something that's a permanent fix for hair loss, or does it only work while you're using it? I'm a bit concerned about having to apply it indefinitely. Plus, I've been wondering if yoga might help with male pattern baldness. If it does, how long should I stick with it to see any results? By the way, I've noticed Dr. M.K Aggarwal tends to give the same advice for hair loss issues, so I'm hoping for a fresh perspective.
Minoxidil is not a permanent cure for male pattern baldness. It is effective in promoting hair growth as long as it is being applied regularly. One popular brand of minoxidil is Rogaine. Yoga alone is not a proven cure for male pattern baldness. While stress reduction techniques like yoga may help improve overall health and potentially reduce hair loss caused by stress, it is not a guaranteed cure for male pattern baldness. It is recommended to continue practicing yoga as part of a healthy lifestyle. For male pattern baldness treatment, you can consider using minoxidil as mentioned earlier.

I've been using Tenovate GN and Brite cream for my face for about four years now. The problem is, whenever I stop using them, my skin darkens and I start getting pimples. I'm really worried about this. What could be going on with my skin, and is there a better way to handle it without relying on these creams?
Long-term use of topical steroids like Tenovate GN can lead to skin thinning, discoloration, and acne breakouts when discontinued abruptly. Brite cream is a combination of multiple ingredients that help with skin brightening. To address the darkening and pimples upon discontinuation, you can gradually taper off the use of Tenovate GN to prevent rebound effects. You can switch to a milder steroid cream like Hydrocortisone for a short period to help with the transition. For skin brightening, you can consider using products containing ingredients like Vitamin C, niacinamide, or kojic acid.

I'm trying to figure out what's more effective, the proanagen solution or the tablet. I've been using the solution for over a month now, but honestly, it's starting to feel a bit tedious. Does one have a quicker or better result than the other? Would love to know your thoughts on this.
Both are equally effective. And also it depends on the grade of hair loss.
