Can taking Follihair tablets cause weight gain? Also, how long should I be taking them to see improvements in hair growth? I'm a bit concerned about any possible side effects too.

I'm a bit unsure about something regarding my daughter's skincare routine. You mentioned on Saturday that she should use Dermadew cream or Fairlite in the morning. But she was also told to use Clindac gel for her pimples in the morning. Should she still keep using the gel, or is it just one of the creams now? How should we be using these together?

when ever she has active acne then she can use clindac gel during bedtime,rest of the days she can contine those creams,donot use both the crames at a time.

I had ringworm a while back, and though it's treated now, I'm left with some pretty noticeable scars. The ones on my butt are really dark, and I've got them on my back and midriff too. Is there a way to get rid of them completely in a few months? Are there any creams or treatments you would recommend for this?

You can use a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. One such cream is Tri-Luma, which should be applied once daily in the evening. Additionally, you can also consider using Mederma, which is specifically formulated to improve the appearance of scars. Remember to apply sunscreen during the day to protect the skin and prevent further darkening of the scars.

I'm really worried because my nails have this blackish fungus on them and they're all uneven. I've been looking for ways to clear it up and get them back to looking normal and whitish. I heard about this Grisovin FP 250 mg tablet. Do you think that's a good option for dealing with this? Any ideas on how to tackle this problem?
