My friend has been dealing with a lot of unwanted hair growth in places like the navel and underarms. Are there any effective treatments for this that don't involve laser surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hormonal imbalance, PCOS, or genetics could cause unwanted hair. Options include waxing, shaving, depilatory creams, electrolysis, or anti-androgen medications—not only laser.

View allI've been dealing with a persistent pimple on my eyebrow for about a month now. It's getting harder and seems to be growing bigger every day. Should I be worried? What might be causing this, and what can I do to treat it?
A persistent pimple on your eyebrow can be frustrating and concerning. Possible Causes 1. Infected hair follicle: A bacterial infection, such as folliculitis, can cause a hard, painful pimple. 2. Ingrown hair: An ingrown hair can cause inflammation, leading to a hard pimple. 3. Cyst or abscess: A cyst or abscess can form under the skin, causing a hard, painful lump. 4. Allergic reaction: An allergic reaction to a product, such as a hair care or makeup product, can cause a skin reaction, including a hard pimple. Home Remedies 1. Warm compresses: Apply a warm, damp washcloth to the area for 5-10 minutes, 2-3 times a day, to help bring the pus and bacteria to the surface. 2. Tea tree oil: Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil like coconut or olive oil and apply it to the affected area to help reduce inflammation and combat bacteria. 3. Aloe vera: Apply aloe vera gel to the affected area to help soothe and calm the skin. Medical Treatment 1. Consult a dermatologist: If the pimple persists, worsens, or becomes severely painful, consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment. 2. Antibiotics or topical creams: A dermatologist may prescribe antibiotics or topical creams to help clear up the infection. 3. Drainage or extraction: In some cases, a dermatologist may need to drain or extract the pimple to help clear up the infection.

I'm dealing with severe hair fall after recovering from dengue last month, and my dermatologist recommended ADHAIR tablets and KZ lotion. I came across some online reviews suggesting that ADHAIR might have side effects, especially post-marriage. Is this true? What side effects should I be worried about? Can I safely continue using the tablets?
No there are no such serious side effects you can take it,follow your doctors advice

I've been struggling with thin cheeks and it's been making me look tired and too lean even though I'm quite fit. This has been an issue for about three years now. I've tried maintaining a good diet with milk, fruits, and nuts, but it hasn't really helped. I'm really looking for advice on how to get fuller, chubby cheeks. Any suggestions?
take balanced diet
