I'm wondering if it's okay to keep taking 5mg biotin tablets forever for my hair, skin, and nails. I've been experiencing hair fall for about a year now and I'm also considering taking Follihair. Can you tell me if there are any side effects from using Follihair and biotin regularly for a long time?

Biotin 5mg tablets can be beneficial for improving hair, skin, and nail health when taken regularly. However, it is important to note that individual responses may vary. Follihair is a combination supplement that contains biotin along with other vitamins and minerals that are beneficial for hair health. It can help in reducing hair fall and promoting hair growth. When taken as directed, biotin and Follihair are generally safe for long-term use. Side effects are rare, but some individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea or diarrhea. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking other medications.

I've noticed some black pigmented spots on my breast and between them, and they seem to be slowly getting bigger. Initially, it was just a small black spot, but now it's growing into these branch-like patterns. What might be causing this, and how should I approach getting it checked out?

Consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. It is important to rule out any serious conditions.

I'm worried about using Melaglow cream every day. Can it damage my skin if used regularly? If its not safe, would switching to Fairlite be a better option?

Using Melaglow cream regularly is generally safe for most individuals. It is commonly used to treat hyperpigmentation and dark spots on the skin. However, it is important to follow the recommended dosage and application instructions provided by your healthcare provider or mentioned on the packaging. If you experience any irritation, redness, or other adverse effects while using Melaglow cream, you should discontinue use and consult with a healthcare professional. Fairlite cream can be used as an alternative to Melaglow if you experience any negative reactions to Melaglow. Fairlite also helps in treating hyperpigmentation and dark spots. The recommended dosage and application instructions for Fairlite may vary, so it is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before using it.
