I'm really worried about the side effects of using keraboost. If I decide to stop taking it, will it make my hair fall out even more? I'm looking for some advice on what to expect.
Keraboost is a hair growth supplement that contains biotin, zinc, and other vitamins and minerals. Some common side effects of Keraboost may include gastrointestinal upset, such as nausea or diarrhea. In rare cases, allergic reactions like rash or itching may occur. If you stop consuming Keraboost, it is unlikely to directly cause an increase in hair fall. However, if Keraboost was helping to improve the health of your hair and you stop taking it, you may notice a decrease in hair quality over time. It's important to maintain a balanced diet and good hair care routine even if you stop taking the supplement.

Can I use Retino-A cream for my dark underarms? Will it help in lightening my skin? I also have dark areas near my neck and inner thighs. Can I apply Retino-A cream there as well?
Retino-A cream, containing tretinoin (a derivative of vitamin A), is primarily used to treat acne, fine lines, and skin discoloration. Using Retino-A Cream for Dark Underarms and Other Areas: Retino-A cream can help lighten dark areas by: 1. Inhibiting melanin production: Tretinoin can reduce the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin darkening. 2. Exfoliating the skin: Retino-A cream can help remove dead skin cells, revealing brighter, more even-toned skin. Areas Where You Can Use Retino-A Cream: 1. Dark underarms: Yes, you can use Retino-A cream on your underarms. However, be cautious, as the skin in this area can be sensitive. 2. Dark area near the neck: You can use Retino-A cream on the neck area, but be gentle, as the skin here can be delicate. 3. Dark inner thighs: While you can use Retino-A cream on the inner thighs, be aware that the skin in this area can be sensitive and prone to irritation. Precautions and Tips: 1. Start with a low concentration: Begin with a lower concentration of tretinoin (around 0.025%) and gradually increase as your skin becomes more tolerant. 2. Use it at night: Apply Retino-A cream at night, as it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. 3. Moisturize: Use a gentle moisturizer to help soothe and hydrate your skin, reducing the risk of irritation. 4. Be patient: It may take several weeks to see noticeable improvements in skin tone and texture. 5. Consult a dermatologist: If you're unsure about using Retino-A cream or have sensitive skin, consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance.
