I've been taking BTN ultra tablets to help control my grey hair since my doctor first recommended them back in 2016. I used them pretty regularly at that time, and then again on and off in 2017 and 2018, and I didn't notice any negative effects. My doctor mentioned that if I want to continue using these tablets, it's best to do it randomly, like using them for a couple of weeks and then taking a break. So, I'm wondering if its safe to keep using BTN ultra in this random way in the future. Also, is there any risk of side effects from using biotin mineral tablets long-term, even if its not continuous? I'd really appreciate your guidance on this!

View allI got my nose pierced at the beginning of February. About two weeks later, I switched to a diamond stud and noticed there was still a bit of pain. Then a week after that, I noticed a bump forming where the piercing is, and it hasn't gone away since. I've tried all kinds of home remedies like saltwater soaks and applying various oils, which seem to reduce the bump sometimes, but it always comes back. Could you give me some advice on what might be causing this and what I can do about it?

I've been dealing with a lot of itching on my testicles and the surrounding areas for the last few days. I've also noticed about 8 to 10 pimples have appeared on the skin of my testicles. The itching seems to get worse at night. I've tried using coconut oil, but it hasn't helped. What could this be, and should I be worried?
The itching and pimples on your testicle skin can be uncomfortable and concerning. Possible Causes 1. Folliculitis: An inflammation of the hair follicles, which can cause itching, redness, and pimples. 2. Jock itch (Tinea cruris): A fungal infection that can cause itching, redness, and a rash in the groin area. 3. Contact dermatitis: An allergic reaction or irritation caused by exposure to certain substances, such as soaps, detergents, or fabrics. 4. Scabies: A parasitic infection caused by mites that can lead to intense itching, especially at night.Precautions and Self-Care 1. Maintain good hygiene: Keep the genital area clean and dry to prevent bacterial and fungal growth. 2. Avoid scratching: Scratching can further irritate the skin, leading to more severe symptoms. 3. Wear loose, breathable clothing: Tight clothing can irritate the skin and exacerbate symptoms. 4. Avoid sharing personal items: Refrain from sharing towels, clothing, or personal items to prevent the spread of infections.

I'm in Delhi and dealing with a lot of hairfall. I'm pretty sure it's the water here because there's a lot of salt in it, and it just builds up on my scalp like dandruff. I've tried different oils and shampoos, but nothing seems to be working. I've been oiling my hair regularly, but it's not making any difference. Any advice on what I can do?
