I've been using arnica oil for about a month and a half, but I haven't seen any noticeable hair growth. Can you tell me how long it usually takes for the oil to show its effects? I'm getting a bit concerned if it's working or not.

I had minor skin surgery and my doctor recommended a CBP test. The results show my RBC and RDW are high while MCH, MCV, and MCHC are lower than normal. I don't have any concerning symptoms and consider myself healthy should I be worried about these results?

Your RBC and RDW being high, along with low MCH, MCV, and MCHC, might suggest some mild anemia or other factors affecting red blood cells. Since you're not experiencing symptoms, its likely not a serious concern, but it's a good idea to follow up with your haematologist to understand the context of these results.

I'm using hand sanitizer to clean my earphones, and now I'm a bit worried. Are they safe to put in my ears? My ears have been really itchy lately. And should I be doing something different to disinfect my earphones safely?

Clean your ears gently using a damp cloth or cotton swabs if necessary, but avoid inserting anything deep into the ear canal.
