I've been dealing with a pretty bad dandruff issue and my hair's been falling out a lot more than usual. I went for an ozone treatment at a salon, hoping it would help, but I haven't seen any changes. What else can I do to fix this?

I'm a little worried because I have two cans of Volini spray that expired in May 2020, but I've never even opened them. Do you think it might still be safe to use them, or is that not a good idea? I spent a pretty penny on these, so I'm hesitant to just throw them away. Can you offer any advice or is there any leeway with using products past their expiration like this?

Using expired Volini spray (May 2020) is not recommended, as its potency, safety, and efficacy may be compromised, potentially leading to reduced effectiveness or adverse reactions; it's best to err on the side of caution and discard the expired product, even if unopened.

I've been dealing with acne and my dermatologist recommended a doxycycline lactic bacillus tablet for 60 days to take at night. I'm just wondering, is it actually safe to be on this medication for such a long duration?

Using doxycycline for 60 days to treat acne is generally safe for most people, but you should be aware of potential side effects like gastrointestinal issues, photosensitivity, and yeast infections. Make sure to follow your dermatologists instructions carefully
