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 been dealing with this dry, flaky skin on my scrotum for a couple of months now, and it's really itchy. I had unprotected sex in the past three months, and I'm starting to get worried. Could these be connected? What should I do about it?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting underwear, and avoiding scratching will help with the itching and flakiness.
