Oiling alredy oily scalp can lead to scaly patches and red skin on scalp. If scalp is alredy oily there is a good chance it traps dust . lead to itching and other skin infection

I'm a bit worried because I've been using Nilac gel for my pimples, and yesterday I put it on my entire face. Now I've noticed that it got into my eyes and on my lips. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is it okay?

No need to worry was your eyes thoroughly with warm water and dont repeat it again,take care.

My wife came down with chicken pox back in late November, and we noticed the pox marks are fading, but it's happening really slowly. I'm starting to worry since it's been over two months now, and I'm not sure if these marks are ever going to completely disappear. Should we see a doctor about this, or is it better to just keep using coconut oil and let things heal naturally? We're just a bit concerned and would appreciate some guidance on what to do next.

Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle

I'm curious about getting rid of some facial hair and I'm not really keen on laser treatments. Ive heard about electrolysis but Im not sure if its available in Mumbai. Could you tell me more about it and if it's effective?

Yes, there are clinics in Mumbai that offer electrolysis treatment for unwanted hair removal on the face. One common brand of electrolysis machine used is Apilus. The typical dosage and frequency of electrolysis sessions can vary depending on the individual's hair growth and skin type, but generally, multiple sessions are required for optimal results.
