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 really worried about my wife. She's been experiencing really bad itching around her urine area and under her thighs for the last four days. Her skin seems super dry, and there's even some light swelling. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Should we be concerned or is there anything specific we should do?
Severe itching, dry skin, and swelling in the genital area can be uncomfortable and concerning. Possible Causes 1. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Bacterial infections can cause itching, burning, and swelling in the genital area. 2. Vaginal Yeast Infection: Fungal infections can lead to itching, redness, and swelling in the vaginal area. 3. Contact Dermatitis: Irritation from soaps, detergents, or other substances can cause itching, redness, and dry skin. 4. Eczema or Atopic Dermatitis: Skin conditions like eczema can cause itching, dryness, and inflammation in the affected area. Immediate Steps 1. Encourage Your Wife to Practice Good Hygiene: Urinate when needed, wipe from front to back, and avoid using scented soaps or bubble baths. 2. Apply a Topical Cream or Ointment: Over-the-counter (OTC) creams or ointments like hydrocortisone, calamine lotion, or antifungal creams can help soothe the skin and reduce itching. 3. Take an OTC Antihistamine: If the itching is severe, an antihistamine like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can help relieve itching and reduce the allergic response.
