I've been noticing these round, dark brown spots appearing on both my armpits. They don't itch, but they seem to be spreading gradually. Could you let me know what this might be and recommend any good treatments? I'm a bit concerned.

I'm planning to use Bontress hair serum and I'm kind of confused about whether I need to wash my hair every day after applying it in the morning. Is it okay to just leave it in and head to work, or do I need to wash it out? My doctor mentioned using 3 sprays in the morning and 4 in the evening. I'm just trying to figure out the best routine. Can I apply it and then just leave it on, or should I wash it off after some time?

You can leave the serum on your scalp and go about your day without washing it off. There is no need to wash your hair immediately after applying the serum. Just make sure to follow the recommended dosage and application times for best results."

I'm considering getting hair fixing done, and I'm a bit concerned about how strong it really is. Like, if someone accidentally pulls or picks at it, is there a chance it could come loose? I'm feeling a bit anxious about it not being secure.
