I'm considering using Morr F lotion alongside Parachute oil on my scalp, but I'm not sure if it's safe to combine the two. If it's not recommended, when would be the best time to apply the lotion and the oil separately? I'm just a bit concerned about the effectiveness and potential interactions. Would love some advice on this!

use along with oil no problem

I've been dealing with some really bad dandruff lately. It's not just in my scalp but the whole nose area too, which has turned red, hard, and dry. The scales that come off are either white or yellowish, and they seem kind of oily. Plus, I've got these painful boils on my nose that just won't go away. And there's a lot of itching and hairfall. I'm really worried about all thiswhat could be causing it, and how can I get some relief?
