I've been using Patanjali toothpaste on my face to try and get rid of some pimples, but now my skin's super dry, really irritated, and parts feel like they're burning. What should I do to fix this, and is it safe to use toothpaste like that on the skin anyway?

I've been dealing with hair loss for a few months now, especially at the front of my head, and it's really worrying me. Are there any surgical options to help regrow my hair or restore what's been lost?

I've been using this rejuglow vitamin C serum for the last couple of months, and it really helped my skin glow. But out of nowhere, in the past 10 days, I'm noticing that my skin looks a bit brownish. I don't spend a lot of time in the sun, so I'm puzzled about what could be causing this change. Any ideas?
