I'm a bit confused about using the Carel Solution. It contains coal tar topical solution USP and salicylic acid IP in an aqueous base, and I've been told to use it like a shampoo. Could you guide me on how exactly I should be applying it? I'm not sure if I'm supposed to use it differently than regular shampoo.

View allI'm curious if there's any link between dandruff and masturbation. I've noticed that when I do masturbate during the week, I end up with a lot of dandruff in my hair, but if I don't, there's less dandruff. It's brown in color. This didn't happen before I started masturbating, but now it's becoming an issue. What could be going on here?
Dandruff in hair is usually caused by a fungal infection called Malassezia. Masturbation does not directly cause dandruff. However, stress and hormonal changes associated with sexual activity may contribute to dandruff flare-ups in some individuals. To address the dandruff issue, you can try using an anti-dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide. Use the shampoo at least twice a week, leaving it on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off. If the problem persists, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm getting married soon and I'm worried about some nail cut marks on my face that I got from a small kid. Can you suggest ways to heal or lessen these marks before the wedding?
To remove nail cut marks on your face, try these remedies: apply topical creams like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or vitamin E oil; use natural ingredients like aloe vera, turmeric, or cucumber; gently exfoliate with a facial scrub; and consider professional treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy, but consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and to ensure the marks fade before your wedding.
