Question

I've been dealing with pigmentation on both sides of my face and it's quite noticeable, especially since my job involves a lot of public interaction. I've been using Pineglow cream at night and Sun Cross Ultra cream during the day, but Im really concerned about how long it might take to see any improvement. Could you let me know if I'm on the right track or suggest anything else that might help? The pigmentation makes me pretty self-conscious.

Question

I'm currently taking finasteride 1mg and using minoxidil 5%, and I'm wondering if it's okay to add ashwagandha 500mg to the mix. From what I've gathered, ashwagandha can reduce inflammation and lower cortisol, which could be linked to DHT formation, but it also might boost testosterone levels. I'm trying to figure out if this combo might help keep my testosterone levels balanced. Lately, I've been noticing some muscle loss, inflammation, and fatigue, so I'm a bit worried if I might have low T. Can you give me some guidance on this?

Question

I've recently had a keratin treatment done on my hair, and now I'm dealing with some dandruff issues. I'm considering using Ketomac anti-dandruff shampoo, but I'm worried. Is it safe to use this shampoo on my keratin-treated hair, or could it potentially affect the treatment?

Question

I'm dealing with acne and was wondering if taking azithral 500mg would help clear it up. Is this a good idea or should I consider something else?
