I've had these leech bites from a few months ago, and even though I've been putting boroline on them regularly, they just won't go away. They're not super bothersome, but they do itch sometimes, and it's been quite a while now. Should I be worried or try something else?

Seems like the leech bites may have caused some irritation and itching. To help with the healing process and alleviate the itching, you can try applying an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream like Cortaid. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for about a week. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Claritin can also help with the itching. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been dealing with vitiligo for a decade now and have been on Pigmento tablets all this time. I've recently added Fish Oil Capsules to my routine hoping it might help with the growth of pigmentation. Does taking fish oil supplements really make a difference with vitiligo? Any advice you could give would be great.
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that consuming Fish oil capsules increases the growth of Vitiligo. Fish oil supplements are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which have anti-inflammatory properties and may benefit overall skin health. However, it is important to continue taking your Pigmento tablets for Vitiligo as prescribed. If you have any concerns or experience any new symptoms, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with hair fall issues and my hair just isn't growing after a certain point. I'm pretty concerned and I've heard about these capsulesBecadexamin and Keraglo Evafor hair regrowth. Could you help me figure out which one would be better for me? I'm really curious if one is more effective than the other.
For hair re-growth, both Becadexamin and Keraglo Eva are viable options, but Keraglo Eva seems to have a more comprehensive formula, containing biotin, vitamin B12, and other nutrients that promote hair growth and strengthen hair follicles. However, it's essential to consult a doctor before starting any supplements, as they can recommend the best course of treatment for your specific hair concerns.

I've been using hydroquinone 2% for a year and had great results with my hyperpigmentation, especially on my forehead and around my mouth. Recently, I switched to taking glutathione 500mg tablets and applying Kojivit Ultra cream for the last two months. Im really curious and a bit worriedwill these two new treatments give me the same awesome results as hydroquinone, or should I consider starting another cycle with hydroquinone 2%?
