I'm a bit confused about how to use the propysalic nf lotion that was prescribed for my scalp condition. Should I be applying it just to my scalp, or is it okay to get some on my hair too? I'm not sure since I have medium length hair and don't want to do it wrong. Could you clarify how I should be applying it?

Propysalic NF lotion is a topical treatment for scalp conditions like psoriasis, dandruff, or seborrheic dermatitis.

Application Instructions

Wash your hair: Before applying the lotion, wash your hair with a mild shampoo.

Towel-dry: Gently towel-dry your hair, making sure it's not soaking wet.

Apply to scalp: Use the lotion only on your scalp, avoiding the hair shafts as much as possible.

Massage gently: Massage the lotion into your scalp using your fingertips.

Leave it on: Leave the lotion on for the recommended time, usually 30 minutes to an hour, before rinsing.

Tips for Medium-Length Hair

Section your hair: Divide your hair into sections to make it easier to apply the lotion to your scalp.

Use a scalp massager: A scalp massager can help you apply the lotion more evenly and massage it into your scalp.

Avoid over-applying: Be careful not to apply too much lotion, as this can weigh your hair down and make it greasy.

I've noticed that the skin on my testicles has started to get a bit darker lately. Every day, when I'm washing up, I rub the area and this black-colored skin-like stuff comes off. It's happening daily, and I'm not sure why it keeps accumulating there. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do?

I've just received my biopsy results, and it's mentioned that there's a hypocellular spindle lesion in a myxocollagenous stroma with a lot of blood vessels and hemosiderin pigment. The report also notes a low-grade spindle cell neoplasm and mentions something about an angiofibroma. I'm trying to wrap my head around this; should I be concerned about these findings? Would you recommend any specific follow-up or treatment based on these results?
