I've just used Veet hair removal cream around my anus and immediately after washing it off with aloe vera soap, I felt a burning sensation. Now I've got these rashes and red itchy bumps. I'm really worried about it. How can I clear this up?

You are experiencing an allergic reaction to the hair removal cream. To help clear the rash and itching, you can try using a mild hydrocortisone cream like Cortaid. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Benadryl to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid using any harsh soaps or products on the affected area. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really curious about using vitamin E and fish liver oil tablets for my hair care. I got the vitamin E 400mg and cod liver oil B.P 300mg tablets from a pharmacy, but I'm unsure about the right dosage. How many of these can I safely take each day? Can you help me figure this out?

Vitamin E and cod liver oil can be beneficial for hair care, but it's essential to follow proper dosages to avoid adverse effects. Recommended Dosages 1. Vitamin E (400mg): The recommended daily intake of vitamin E varies from 15mg to 20mg. Taking 400mg per day is significantly higher than the recommended amount. High doses of vitamin E can cause adverse effects like headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Consider taking 1 tablet (400mg) every 2-3 days. 2. Cod Liver Oil B.P (300mg): Cod liver oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D. The recommended daily intake of cod liver oil varies from 1000mg to 3000mg. Taking 1-2 tablets (300mg each) per day should be safe.

I recently tried to put a neem stick through my ear lobe after not wearing earrings for two months, and now it's infected. I'm wondering if I should try using Boroplus or maybe turmeric and mustard oil to treat it. What would you recommend? I'm not sure which is better for this kind of situation.
