I've been dealing with ringworm for a year now, and allopathy hasn't really helped. I've switched to Ayurveda, and it seems to be showing some good results. But I came across something online that mentioned Salicylic Acid or sapat lotion might work fast, like in just two days. I'm pretty frustrated at this point and would really appreciate an honest answer. Is there any truth to this idea?

I'm a 21-year-old woman and I don't have issues with acne, but my face tends to look dull. I tried Botanica 3D serum and liked the results. I'm thinking of keeping up with it, but I'm a bit worried about any possible side effects. Can I safely use it long-term?

I've been feeling this intense heat on the top of my head whenever I place my hand there. Some people mention it might be due to body heat, so I've tried doing an oil bath 3 to 4 times, but it hasn't really helped. I'm just wondering what might be causing this and what kind of doctor I should see about it?

The persistent heat sensation in your head, despite frequent oil baths, could be related to various factors, including stress, anxiety, or underlying medical conditions, such as hypertension, thyroid disorders, or neurological issues, so consider consulting a neurologist
