I've heard that you can get crabs from having head lice. Is that true? I'm worried about getting pubic lice because of head lice. Can you tell me if that's possible?

Over winter, I've noticed my skin tends to get a darker shade, even though I've usually got a fair skin tone. What do you think might be causing this? Plus, my skin gets pretty dry around this time. Could you recommend a moisturizer that isn't sticky but still brightens up my skin? Would love some advice on how to manage both these issues!

Can I use Evion 400 on my face every night? I've heard it's an antioxidant and good for the skin, but I'm wondering if it's safe to do this regularly. Is there anything I should be worried about?

Evion 400 is a brand name for Vitamin E capsules. It can be beneficial for the skin as it is an antioxidant. You can puncture the capsule and apply the oil directly to your face overnight. However, it is recommended to do a patch test first to check for any allergic reactions. Apply a small amount on your inner arm and wait for 24 hours to see if there is any redness, itching, or irritation. If there is no reaction, you can apply it on your face daily.

I'm dealing with hair loss and got my blood work back, showing my vitamin D level is really low at just 6. My doctor gave me a vitamin D injection and advised a follow-up dose in six months. I'm wondering, how long will it take for this injection to actually boost my vitamin D levels? Should I be taking any supplements in the meantime to help out?
