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.

I'm a 22-year-old guy and I've been noticing that the skin on my inner thighs and especially my penis is way darker than the rest of my body, which I'm really not happy about. Plus, I've got some white spots on the back of my penisnone on the frontand I wonder if it's from masturbation. It seems like the back is more sensitive too. I've got some pictures that clearly show the difference in color and the spots. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how I can even out my skin tone?
please physically see a qualified dermatologist and discuss this with him
