Question

I've been bitten by an insect and the area is really itchy and red. There's no swelling, but the skin looks reddish and a bit blackish. I've been using T Bact ointment, but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should be applying. Any advice on what ointments might help?

Question

I've been using serum for around 4 months, and now my hair feels really weak. They fall out even when I just run my hand through them. I think they've lost their strength. I realized I was applying the serum wrong, directly on the scalp before combing. I've stopped using it now, but I'm worried. What can I do to speed up the process of strengthening my hair again?
