Question

I'm dealing with hair fall for the past three months and it's really worrying me. Are those shampoo-based hair colors, like Indica or Streaks, which you get in Rs 30 sachet packs, safe to use every couple of months? Also, is there any way we can stop hair from greying or falling out using medicines? And if I do decide to color, which brand would be the best pick?

Question

I'm dealing with some lumps popping up in my pubic area. They aren't too bad and seem like they've got pus in them. They come and go, but one got pretty bad and burst. I kept it clean and bandaged for a couple of weeks, and it went away. Now I've got two more, and it seems like they show up when there's pressure from my belt. I'm trying to wear my belt as little as possible, but I'm unsure how to stop these from appearing. Any advice on preventing this would be appreciated!

Question

I'm currently using Sebamed cleansing facial foam and the deep cleansing toner, but with winter approaching, my skin is getting pretty dry. I'm also applying Adaferin gel on my nose to tackle blackheads. Do you think Adaferin can help with the blackheads? Any tips on managing the dryness?
