I've heard that vitamin E is supposed to help with beard growth. Is it a good idea for me to take Evamore Plus vitamin E pills for this? Are there any side effects I should be aware of?

Vitamin E can indeed promote beard growth by improving blood circulation to the hair follicles and supporting overall hair health. Evamore Plus is a good choice for Vitamin E supplementation. You can take 400-800 IU of Vitamin E daily for beard growth. As for side effects, Vitamin E is generally safe when taken within the recommended dosage range. However, high doses of Vitamin E can cause side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, and an increased risk of bleeding. It is important to stick to the recommended dosage to avoid any adverse effects.

I've been dealing with this itching problem all over my body for about a month now, and I'm really not sure what to do next. I tried using Dettol and itch guard, but they haven't helped. It's pretty frustrating. Any idea what might be causing this or what I should try next?

Itching for a month could be due to allergies, dry skin, infections, or other underlying issues. Avoid scratching, keep your skin moisturized, and wear loose, breathable clothes. Since Dettol and itch guard didnt help, consult a dermatologist to identify the cause and get proper treatment. Avoid self-medicating further.

So, I've been dealing with melanin depigmentation and tried out this Pigmanorm cream that's got hydroquinone 4, hydrocortisone 1, and tretinoin 0.1. I applied it for three days, and now my face is all red in those spots. I stopped using the cream, but I'm kind of freaking out about whether this redness will go away on its own. Right now, I'm using Bioderma Sensibio Forte cream because I heard it's good for flushed skin. Do you think the redness will just fade away, or is it something that's going to stick around for a while? Also, I'm putting on Eveline sunscreen SPF 50 three times a day. Could you check out the pics and tell me what you think?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to use benzoyl peroxide with my sunscreen. Should I be putting on sunscreen before or after the benzoyl peroxide? And how long should I wait between applying the two? I'm a bit confused about the order and timing, could you help clear this up?

When using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and sunscreen together, follow these guidelines: *Application Order* 1. *Benzoyl peroxide first*: Apply BPO to the affected areas, allowing it to dry completely. 2. *Sunscreen second*: Apply sunscreen over the treated areas. *Waiting Time* Wait at least *15-30 minutes* after applying BPO before applying sunscreen. This allows the BPO to penetrate the skin and reduces the risk of pilling or reduced efficacy. *Additional Tips* 1. *Choose a gentle sunscreen*: Opt for a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic sunscreen to minimize irritation. 2. *Select a broad-spectrum sunscreen*: Ensure the sunscreen provides broad-spectrum protection (SPF 30 or higher) to prevent further skin damage. 3. *Reapply sunscreen regularly*: Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours or immediately after swimming or sweating.
