Question

I'm really worried about losing so much hair every time I apply oil or shampoo. I don't even do an oil massage, just a light application, and I always dilute my shampoo in water. I've tried a bunch of different shampoos, but nothing seems to work. Am I doing something wrong? Is it necessary to do an oil massage? My scalp is super oily, and my hair gets greasy just after two days. Should I keep using oil anyway?

Since you have an extremely oily scalp and experience greasiness within 2 days, you can opt for a clarifying shampoo like "Sebamed Anti-Dandruff Shampoo" to help control oiliness and maintain scalp health. It is not necessary to apply oil if it worsens your scalp condition, but if you still prefer to use oil, choose a non-greasy formula and apply it sparingly to the ends of your hair rather than the scalp

Question

I've been experiencing some issues after using a bath salt that had Epsom salt or magnesium sulfate in it. Just a couple of days later, I broke out in these red, hive-like rashes all over my body. They're super itchy and have a burning sensation, and there are even some blisters popping up, though thankfully no fever, nausea, or trouble breathing. I'm really worried about how to treat this and also don't want any scars to be left behind. Could you advise on what I should do?

Question

I've noticed some white patches on my penis, specifically behind the foreskin at the top part. It's been a few weeks now, and recently, I've also seen small red marks developing on a couple of those patches. Can you tell me what kind of treatment might be appropriate or whether I should consult a sexologist or a dermatologist about this?
