Can Henna be applied on oily hair?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Henna is good for oily scalp as it causes dryness in addition to nutritioning the hair. If your hair is too dirty or oily then henna may not have a needed effect, so it is suggestable to wash with plain water, pat dry and then apply henna.

View allI'm dealing with tinea cruris and used RABHICO Skin Ointment, which is similar to btex. Now I'm experiencing redness, pain, and swelling over a large area. What should I do about this reaction? Is it normal, or should I be worried?
It sounds like you may be experiencing an adverse reaction to the ointment you used. Stop using it immediately and soothe your skin with a cool compress, moisturizers, and anti-inflammatory creams. If the symptoms persist, it's essential to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and alternative treatment for your tinea cruris.
