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've been dealing with these recurring abscesses for the past few months, and it's getting pretty frustrating. Some of them are really painful and take days to heal, while others get better faster. Whenever one is about to drain, the pain gets intense enough that I have to rely on Flexone to manage it. Is there something I can do to prevent them from happening so often? Should I be concerned about how frequently they occur?

I've been dealing with this really annoying itching all over my body for the past week. I'm not sure what's causing it and it's really starting to bother me. Any idea what might be going on or what I should do about it?
You may be experiencing a condition called urticaria, also known as hives. To help relieve the itching, you can take cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply calamine lotion to the affected areas for soothing relief. If the itching persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit confused about something and was hoping for some guidance. When it comes to using Regaine, should it be applied after using hair oil, or is it supposed to go on beforehand? What's the right way to use it?
