I had an accident around 10 years ago that left a noticeable stitch mark on my face. I'm really curious about how I might be able to hide it with makeup or if there's a way to permanently remove it. Can you give me any advice on what might work best?

I've been dealing with this really itchy scalp issue, and it's getting worse. Whenever I scratch my scalp, these tiny crystals or granules come out under my nails. There's also a plaque-like thing on my scalp, and because of it, my hair is falling out and I feel even more itchy. It's really frustrating. What could be causing this and what should I do?

To help with the itching and flaking, you can try using a medicated shampoo containing coal tar or salicylic acid. Make sure to leave the shampoo on for at least 5-10 minutes before rinsing off. Additionally, you can use a topical corticosteroid solution on the affected areas of your scalp. It is important to follow the instructions provided with these products and use them regularly for best results.

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
