I've had a mole on my right cheek for about 15 years now. Can it be removed, and would I need plastic surgery or is there a simpler treatment that can get rid of it completely?

View allI'm currently using Imxia XL serum for my hair regrowth, and I'm wondering if it's okay to use oil after applying the serum. I'm a bit concerned about whether it'll affect the serum's effectiveness or if there's a specific way I should be doing this. Any advice on how to best combine these products?

I'm curious to know if doing yoga poses like handstands or headstands could actually help in regrowing hair. If they do, which one would be more effective for promoting hair growth: the headstand or the handstand? I'm really looking for something that might make a difference.

I've been dealing with acne for the past four years and a doctor mentioned trying a Glycolic Acid Peel. I'm really curious if there are any side effects and if it's safe to use. What should I expect from the treatment?
Glycolic Acid Peel is a popular chemical peel treatment for acne, fine lines, and skin texture improvement. Safety and Efficacy: Glycolic Acid Peel is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified dermatologist or esthetician. The treatment can be effective in: 1. Reducing acne and preventing future breakouts 2. Improving skin texture and tone 3. Fading fine lines and wrinkles 4. Enhancing skin brightness and radiance Possible Side Effects: While rare, possible side effects of Glycolic Acid Peel include: 1. Redness and irritation 2. Itching or stinging sensation 3. Dryness or flakiness 4. Increased sensitivity to the sun 5. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) in rare cases Precautions and Contraindications: 1. Sensitive skin: If you have sensitive skin, your dermatologist may recommend a lower concentration of glycolic acid or a patch test before the treatment. 2. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Glycolic Acid Peel is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to the lack of research on its safety during these periods. 3. Active skin infections: If you have an active skin infection, such as herpes simplex, your dermatologist may postpone the treatment until the infection clears up. Before and After the Treatment: 1. Pre-treatment preparation: Avoid using exfoliating products, waxing, or getting a tattoo at least 1-2 weeks before the treatment. 2. Post-treatment care: Follow your dermatologist's instructions for post-treatment care, which may include using gentle skincare products, avoiding direct sun exposure, and applying sunscreen with at least SPF 30. To minimize potential side effects and ensure the best results, consult with a qualified dermatologist or esthetician who can: 1. Assess your skin type and concerns 2. Determine the optimal concentration of glycolic acid for your skin 3. Provide personalized pre- and post-treatment instructions
