I've been noticing a lot of people using Vaseline on their skin as some sort of moisture barrier, and I'm really not sure if that's safe or even right for me. I have combination skin that's also pretty acne-prone, and I'm worried about whether Vaseline could potentially mess things up. Do you think it's safe for me to try it, or should I steer clear?

I'm using Folliserum for my hair fall since I was 56, but I haven't noticed any improvement yet. I read somewhere that it might take up to 3-6 months to see results. Should I be more patient, or is it time to switch to a different serum? What do you suggest?

1. *Continue Follicserum usage* for at least 3-6 months. 2. *Consult a dermatologist* for personalized advice. 3. *Consider combination therapy* with minoxidil or biotin supplements. *Alternative Hair Growth Serums* 1. *Kerastase Densifique Serum* 2. *Nioxin 3-Part System* 3. *Regenepure Hair Growth Serum*

Hey, I've been using terbinaforce plus cream on my upper thighs for the last two weeks and the infection seems to have cleared up about a week ago. Should I keep using it even though it looks like it's cured? Just wondering what's best to do here.

It is not necessary to continue applying Terbinaforce plus cream if the infection has already been cured for a week. You can stop using the cream now.
