Usually twice a week but to be very precise it depends on hair type. If washing frequently you have to make sure you use a mild shampoo and dilute it with water before using.

Question

I've been having some skin issues, and I'm starting to get worried. I went for a medical test in Saudi Arabia, and it came back showing TPHAVDRL reactive. After that, I consulted a dermatologist in Hyderabad, and they did a biopsy to confirm the results, which were still reactive. They recommended penicillin injections, which I took, and then did a retest 8 weeks later. But, the test is still showing reactive. I'm not sure if this diagnosis is accurate or if it's something that can actually be cured. Besides this, I've had some non-itchy, painless rashes on my skin since around 2009. They appeared when I traveled to the USA. I've shown them to a doctor there, but I'm still concerned. Could there be something I'm missing or should be doing differently?

Question

I'm noticing a lot of hair fall recently and read that Evion 400 Vitamin E capsules could help. However, I've already got EGlow 400 Vitamin E capsules at home. Are these just as effective? Also, what's the right dosage for them?

Question

I'm really struggling with a case of jock itch that's making my life pretty uncomfortable. It's all red and scaly and the itching is driving me nuts. I've tried so many over-the-counter options like Quadriderm and Triben Plus, but they only seem to work for a bit before the itch comes right back. Even the home remedies I've tried don't seem to help. What can I do to finally get rid of this?
