Medical Disclaimer

This site does not give medical advice

Everything on Lotus Femcare is general information about hair care and skin care. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for consulting a qualified doctor, dermatologist or other healthcare professional.

We do not know your medical history, your medications, your allergies or your skin. No article written for a general audience can account for those, and none of ours attempts to.

Please see a doctor if

• Hair fall is sudden, patchy, or getting worse
• You have scalp sores, severe itching or bleeding
• Acne is painful, cystic, scarring, or not improving
• A mole or patch of skin changes in size, colour or shape
• You have a reaction to a product — burning, swelling, blistering or a rash
• You are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive and are unsure about a product
• You suspect a hormonal condition such as PCOS or a thyroid problem
• Any symptom worries you

Do not delay seeing a doctor because of something you read here. If you are having a severe reaction, seek medical care immediately.

About our medical reviewers

Health-related articles on this site are reviewed by MBBS doctors for factual accuracy. This review does not create a doctor–patient relationship between you and the reviewer, and does not make the content medical advice. Our reviewers cannot answer individual questions or advise on your particular situation.

About our founder

Anjali Verma is a final-year MBBS student, not a practising doctor or a dermatologist. Her writing reflects study and research, not clinical practice.

Products and results

Products affect people differently. Something that works well for one person may not work for another, and may irritate a third. Always patch test a new product, follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and stop using anything that causes a reaction.

We have no control over product formulations, which brands change without notice. Always read the label on the product you have bought.

No guarantees

We work to keep our content accurate and current, but we make no warranty that it is complete, correct or up to date. Use of this site is at your own risk. Lotus Femcare accepts no liability for any loss or harm arising from reliance on information published here.
