Biotin: 40 mcg
Iron: 29 mg
Vitamin C: 65 mg
Vitamin E: 10 mg
Also contains: Veg Collagen Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid
2. OZiva Plant-Based Collagen Builder (dose: 1 scoops/day)
Biotin,
Vitamin C Key ingredients: Bamboo Shoot (Silica), Acerola Cherry, Sesbania Agati, Sea Buckthorn, Rose Petal, Acai Berry
3. OZiva Hair Vitamins (1 cap/day)
Biotin, Iron, Vitamin E. Also contains: Zinc, DHT blockers (Stinging Nettle, Pumpkin Seed, Beta-Sitosterol, Pine Bark)
My questions:1.
Is my combined daily biotin intake from all three safe long-term?Am I getting too much iron between the multivitamin and hair vitamins? Should I get a ferritin/iron panel done before continuing both?

Hello,
Thank you for your query.
• Based on the information provided, it is difficult to suggest the most appropriate treatment without a proper assessment, as several skin conditions can appear similar.
• Kindly share clear photographs of the affected area in good lighting along with details such as duration of the problem, symptoms, and any treatments used previously.
• I would advise against starting any OTC creams or self-medication, as some products may worsen the condition or delay proper treatment.
• An accurate diagnosis is the first step towards effective and long-lasting results.
You may book a consultation for a detailed evaluation and a personalized treatment plan. I would be happy to guide you further.

Treatments guided by a specialist medical doctor will not be an overdose provided you are regular with your follow up.
If this is self treatment then you must consult a specialist based upon your concerns.
Feel free to revert back so we can guide you further.
