I've been dealing with some issues ever since I took phosphorus 30c when I was younger, around 14-18 years old. I think it might've helped increase my hair back then, but now it seems like I'm facing some side effects. I've developed seborrheic dermatitis, and even though I wash my hair daily with shampoo, small hairs keep falling from my scalp. It's been impossible to grow my hair long without things getting worse. It's been around 5 years now, and I'm really struggling. Do you think the phosphorus might've caused this, and what can I do to improve my situation?

I've been applying Vitamin E capsule gel mixed with aloe vera gel on my face and for my dark circles and I've noticed a big improvement. I'm really happy with the results, but I'm curious if it's safe to use this combination on my skin every day for the rest of my life. Could there be any long-term effects I should worry about?

you can stop using it ince you are cured from the problem,no need to use it for life time,there is no harm if it is used for long periods.
