I'm really struggling with lice and nits in my hair. I used Mediker shampoo but there are still some left even after one wash. Is it okay to use it more than once a week? How long should I wait between washes if I want to use it again?

For effective lice and nit removal, Mediker shampoo can be used again after a gap of 7-10 days, as the second application helps kill any newly hatched lice; however, always follow the product instructions and consult a doctor or dermatologist for personalized advice, as overusing the shampoo can lead to scalp irritation and dryness.

I'm 20 and having a hard time with beard and mustache growth. I started seeing some hair on my chin about four years ago, but it never spread out over my whole face. It's been frustrating not seeing much progress since then. Could you suggest some treatments or medicines that might help with full beard growth?

I'm experiencing a strange, random stinging sensation on my skin all over my body. I'm not exactly sure what kind of tests I need. Should I be looking at seeing a neurologist, or would a dermatologist be a better option for this kind of issue? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Neurologist opinion is advised to the patient.
