I've been using bio oil on my stretch marks for a few weeks now and I can slowly see results. I've got a question though. Is it okay to use bio oil on my face for massage? I've got acne-prone, sensitive combination skin. I'd love to massage my face once a week to boost blood flow and relax my muscles, but I'm worried about oils clogging my pores and causing more acne. I've heard from friends that bio oil helps with acne scars, so I'm curious if it's safe for facial use. If bio oil isn't suitable, could you recommend an appropriate oil for face massage? Would really appreciate your advice!

I'm dealing with a really uncomfortable issue with my right breast. The skin on my areola is peeling and it's constantly sticking to my bra. When I take my bra off, the skin comes off too and it's quite painful. I had eczema a few years back with similar symptoms but that cleared up with aloe vera after about two months. This time it seems worse and isn't as itchy, just sometimes. It's sore and a bit reddish. I'm worried and wondering if it's possible to be dealing with something serious like cancer at my age. It's really freaking me out and I'm not sure what to do.

I'm a 22-year-old woman living in a small town in Maharashtra. I've struggled with acne in the past, and while it's under control now, I'm left with scars on my face. Do you have any easy and quick home remedies for fading these acne scars?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I've been dealing with hair loss since 2015 and had been using minoxidil 5% for over a year. I stopped using it about 6 months ago but started again a month ago and I think the shedding phase is done. I saw a trichologist who recommended Xfolia hair gain serum and hairgain pills since I'm in a type 3 pattern. Have you heard of this Xfolia stuff? How long does it usually take to see results with this kind of treatment, because I couldn't find any info about it online?
