I've recently had to get stitches on my forehead for a cut, and now that they're out, there's this noticeable mark left behind. I'm a bit worried and wondering if there's a way to help reduce or get rid of the scar. Could you give me some advice on what steps I might take? Maybe certain treatments or creams to consider?

Can I use Indulekha hair oil even though I'm only 16? My hair used to be thick and bouncy, but now it's really thin and seems to be falling out a lot. I'm worried and not sure what to do. Do you think this hair oil would help, or is it not suitable for someone my age?

Yes, you can use Indulekha Hair Oil at the age of 16. It is safe for use in individuals below 18 years of age. To help with your hair breakage and hair fall, you can apply Indulekha Hair Oil on your scalp and hair, gently massaging it in. Leave it on for at least 2-3 hours or overnight before washing it off with a mild shampoo. You can use it 2-3 times a week for best results.

Can a 16-year-old get the IV Gluta injection? I'm curious about what effects glutathione might have on someone their age. Is it safe or are there any potential side effects I should be aware of?

I've been struggling with a fungal infection on my scrotum for about 2 years now and I've tried so many different medications like terbinafine, fluconazole, and griseofulvin, along with fexofenadine and levocetirizine, and even injections like Taxim and Mocef, but nothing seems to work. Itraconazole helped a bit but still hasn't cleared it up completely. I'm really not sure what to do next. Can you give me some advice?
