I'm using indigo power to dye my hair, and I've noticed that it makes my scalp itchy and my hair really dry. Are there any natural alternatives or remedies that could help with this?

Question

I've noticed a lump near my anus for the past few days, but it's not actually on the anus. I'm pretty sure it's not a hemorrhoid because I already have internal hemorrhoids, and this feels different. What could this lump be?

Question

I've noticed some dents or shallow holes on my pinky finger of the left hand and the index finger of the right hand. I was trimming my nails when I first saw them, and after looking it up, I found a term called nail pitting, which is linked to psoriasis and other skin conditions. This has really worried me because I don't have any skin disease or joint pain. Could this be nail pitting or something else entirely? I also have tiny dots on two other nails, but there's only one per nail, and they're not as noticeable as on the pinky and index. The online pictures of nail pitting show nails with lots of deep holes and no shine, which looks scary. My nails still look pretty shiny and not as extreme. Can you help clarify what might be going on here?

Question

I'm supposed to use candid LA ointment on my penis, but the tube I have doesnt mention LA, nor does it say Candid B. Are these two different creams? Also, what's the right way to apply it? Should I retract the foreskin, apply the cream, and then put the foreskin back, or apply the cream, wash it off, and then restore the foreskin?
