PeriodsEvidence check
After surgery, endometriosis gets a stage from I to IV based on how much disease was seen. It's easy to assume a higher stage means more pain. In 244 women, stage didn't predict how often or how badly their periods or pelvis hurt. Where the disease sat mattered more, for pain during sex and on the toilet. Here is what the studies found and what to ask after surgery or a scan.
Odor & SweatEvidence check
Heavy sweating that has no medical cause, called primary hyperhidrosis, often comes with worry and low mood. In a study of 2,017 dermatology patients, anxiety was about three times as common in people with it, and rose with sweating severity. A 2025 review of 15 studies agreed. A German study found treatment with Botox injections eased anxiety and social fear. Here is what the research shows.
SkinEvidence check
Tiny Demodex mites live in almost everyone's facial hair follicles. People with rosacea tend to carry far more: in one 1993 study, an average of 49.8 per sample against 10.8 in people without it. A 2017 review of 23 studies found a strong link but couldn't show the mites cause rosacea. Here is what the counts found, what an anti-mite cream did in a large trial, and why harder washing isn't the answer.

Greasy flakes and redness around the nose, eyebrows, ears or scalp line are often seborrheic dermatitis. Dermatologists start with dandruff shampoo used on the skin and antifungal creams, and a once-daily nonsteroid foam is now approved for it. Here is what the American Academy of Dermatology and the foam's label say.

UK guidance favors flossing first; US guidance emphasizes doing it thoroughly every day. A 2026 trial found a plaque benefit at the front teeth, with limits worth understanding.

Check the safety date and storage instructions rather than relying on a normal smell.
HairEvidence check
Frontal fibrosing alopecia, a scarring hair loss along the front hairline and eyebrows, mostly affects women after menopause. A 2023 review of nine studies found women with it were more likely to report using facial sunscreen. That's a link, not proof, and it isn't a reason to give up sun protection. Here is what to know.
