So, I've got this pimple-like boil on the shaft of my penis. I tried squeezing it, and some pus came out, but it's still there a week later, and it hurts when I press it. What should I do about it?

I'm really worried about the side effects of using keraboost. If I decide to stop taking it, will it make my hair fall out even more? I'm looking for some advice on what to expect.

Keraboost is a hair growth supplement that contains biotin, zinc, and other vitamins and minerals. Some common side effects of Keraboost may include gastrointestinal upset, such as nausea or diarrhea. In rare cases, allergic reactions like rash or itching may occur. If you stop consuming Keraboost, it is unlikely to directly cause an increase in hair fall. However, if Keraboost was helping to improve the health of your hair and you stop taking it, you may notice a decrease in hair quality over time. It's important to maintain a balanced diet and good hair care routine even if you stop taking the supplement.
