Is it okay if I use Egacream every day? I've been doing this for about a year now. I'm 36 with a dusky skin tone. If it's not safe, can you suggest a different cream that I could use regularly?

I had an accident three years ago, and while some marks have healed, there's still a noticeable one on the left side of my face. I'm really hoping to find a cream that could help fade this mark and maybe even get my skin looking like it did before. Any suggestions?

Thrombophobe cream for local application atleast 7-14 days is advised to the patient once daily.

I'm really worried about my hair thinning and I've heard about minoxidil for hair growth. Can you tell me which pharma company's minoxidil 5% is best for women? Also, how long should I use it to see real results?

The minoxidil 5% solution for women, commonly used for hair growth, is available under various brand names such as Rogaine or Kirkland. It is advisable to use it consistently for at least 4 to 6 months to see noticeable results. The recommended dosage is usually 1 milliliter applied to the affected scalp area twice daily.
