Question

I have a mole on my forehead that I've had since birth and I'm thinking about getting it removed. How much does the surgery usually cost and will there be a scar after? If it does leave a mark, how long until it fades? Are there any safe ways to remove it at home or is surgery the only option?

Mole removal costs ₹3,000–₹10,000; mild scar may remain and fade in months—home removal isn’t safe.

I'm an 18-year-old girl dealing with dandruff and skin tans, and my dermatologist recommended Dermadew soap. It really improved my skin, which is great, but now I've started getting acne on my face. Can I keep using the same soap? Should I be worried about this acne?

I've had pretty large breasts since middle school and hit puberty fast, so I was never really comfortable with my body.

Question

I've been told to start using MX 5 solution every night for my hair fall issue, but I'm confused because I read online that it's meant for men only. Is that true? And I've also come across some info about potential side effects like weight gain. Is that something I should be concerned about?
