I've got a dark brown burn mark on my upper lip from the wax I used yesterday. I'm really worried about it and was hoping you could recommend an ointment or something to help it go away quickly. Any advice?

I recommend using a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection and promote healing of the burn patch. Apply a thin layer of Neosporin over the affected area twice a day for faster recovery. Additionally, you can also use aloe vera gel to soothe the burned skin and reduce inflammation.

I've been dealing with hairfall for a while and I've been relying on Keraglo Eva for the past seven years. Before that, I took Keraglo Forte. The thing is, if I stop using them even for just a couple of weeks, my hair starts falling out at a crazy rate. I'm concerned about potential side effects and I'm really hoping to find another solution. Do you think switching to homeopathy might help?

I'm a bit concerned because I was prescribed the fas 3 kit for a suspected fungal infection and followed the instructions, but after feeling better on day 2, the discomfort and burning sensation came back on day 3. The doctor said to check back after a week if things didn't improve, but I'm not sure if I should wait that long. Should I go for another consultation now, or give it a week like the doctor suggested?

It's normal to experience some fluctuation in symptoms during treatment. Since youre still feeling discomfort and burning, it's a good idea to consult your doctor sooner rather than waiting a week, especially if the symptoms arent improving. They may adjust your treatment plan for better relief.
