Question

I've been dealing with a dandruff issue and it's getting really frustrating. The dandruff is quite bad and it's making my scalp itch a lot more than usual. Do you have any suggestions on how I can fix this?

To tackle dandruff and itching, try an anti-dandruff shampoo containing zinc pyrithione (Head & Shoulders), ketoconazole (Nizoral), or salicylic acid (Neutrogena), and complement it with an apple cider vinegar rinse, coconut oil treatment, or tea tree oil application to soothe the scalp and reduce flaking.

I'm really worried about this rash that's been bothering me on my inner thighs. Ive had it for almost 5 weeks now and its got these small blisters and is really inflamed near my knee. Ive seen 2 doctors, tried the creams they gave me, but they didnt work. Ive been taking Fluconazole 50mg once a day and it's still not helping. Its starting to really get me down and I'm not sure what to do next. Can you offer any advice on what might help?
