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 got a bump that just popped up on the side of my nose out of nowhere, and it's been hanging around for two weeks. Whenever I try to mess with it, I get this white pus along with some blood from the pores. My skin is super oily and I do get these acne bumps sometimes. I'm wondering what might be going on and how I can get rid of it. Any thoughts?
The sudden bump on your nose could be a: 1. Sebaceous cyst 2. Pimple or acne cyst 3. Ingrown hair To get rid of the bump: *Self-Care* 1. *Stop picking*: Avoid squeezing or picking the bump to prevent further inflammation and scarring. 2. *Warm compresses*: Apply a warm, damp washcloth to the area for 5-7 minutes, 2-3 times a day. 3. *Keep the area clean*: Gently wash your face with a mild cleanser, avoiding harsh products. *Topical Treatments* 1. *Benzoyl peroxide*: Apply a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide cream or gel to the affected area. 2. *Tea tree oil*: Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil (coconut or olive oil) and apply it to the bump. *Professional Help* If the bump persists, worsens, or becomes severely inflamed, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, consider: 1. *Oily skin management*: Use oil-free products, and consider a clay-based mask to control oil production. 2. *Acne treatment*: If you're prone to acne, consider consulting a dermatologist for a personalized treatment plan.

I've been using Evion 400 on my face for the last couple of days, and I've started getting headaches afterward. Is this something that happens sometimes, or do you think I should stop using it on my skin?

I've recently stopped using Medisalic, which I'd been using for a couple of years due to a skin allergy. I'm looking for some cream and face wash options that won't have side effects and can help keep my skin healthy and glowing. Can you suggest anything?
