To help stop hair fall, you can try using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of the scalp. Additionally, taking Biotin tablets 10mg once daily can also help in promoting hair growth. Make sure to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid excessive stress.

I've been noticing that my lips have gotten quite dark recently, and it's starting to worry me a bit. I've heard that vitamin B12 might help with this. Is that true, and could you recommend a specific tablet or supplement that I should try for this issue? I'm really hoping to find a good solution.
