I've been using multani mitti and apple cider vinegar on my face to try and clear up some acne, but now I'm dealing with some skin burn, a lot of redness, and even a little bit of peeling. What should I do about this? Is there a way to soothe my skin or should I be worried?

To treat the skin burn, redness, and peeling, you can use a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone cream along with a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil. Apply the Hydrocortisone cream twice a day on the affected areas and follow it up with the moisturizer. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine to reduce any itching or inflammation. Make sure to avoid further use of multani mitti and apple cider vinegar on your face.

I've been dealing with hair fall and my doctor mentioned Follihair. I'm curious if there's a more budget-friendly option like Supradyne or Zincovit that might work just as well. Also, can I opt for any brand of Minoxidil 5? I'm a 23-year-old guy and would really appreciate your advice!
