Can I wash my hair daily with water only?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, there is no harm in washing hair daily with plain treated water but prefer cold water. You need to check for excess chlorine or bleach in water which may cause dryness and split ends on repeated exposure.

Gentle Cleaning: Washing hair daily with only water is generally safe and can gently cleanse the scalp without stripping natural oils.
-
Hair Type Matters: If you have oily hair, water-only washing might not remove all excess oil, potentially leading to a greasy feel.
-
Scalp Health: This method can help maintain scalp moisture and reduce irritation for some individuals.
-
Limitations: Water does not effectively remove oils and product buildup, so occasional shampooing might be necessary.
-
Personal Preference: If your hair and scalp feel healthy with water-only washing, it is generally fine to continue.
If you experience scalp issues or excessive oiliness, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.

View allI'm a 17-year-old girl struggling with a ton of pimples on my face, and the usual acne creams haven't really worked out for me. I'm wondering if Metrogyl Gel could be effective for treating my acne?
Metrogyl Gel, containing metronidazole, is primarily used to treat rosacea, a skin condition characterized by redness, inflammation, and acne-like symptoms. While it might help with acne, its effectiveness for this purpose is limited. For acne treatment, consider the following: 1. Benzoyl peroxide-based creams or gels (2.5% or 5%) for mild to moderate acne. 2. Salicylic acid-based products (0.5% or 2%) for blackheads and whiteheads. 3. Sulfur-based products for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment. They may prescribe topical or oral medications, such as retinoids, antibiotics, or hormonal treatments, depending on your acne severity and type.

My wife came down with chicken pox back in late November, and we noticed the pox marks are fading, but it's happening really slowly. I'm starting to worry since it's been over two months now, and I'm not sure if these marks are ever going to completely disappear. Should we see a doctor about this, or is it better to just keep using coconut oil and let things heal naturally? We're just a bit concerned and would appreciate some guidance on what to do next.
