I'm dealing with balding and flaky dandruff issues, and someone mentioned using Nizral 2 shampoo. Could you let me know the best way to use this shampoo? I've heard it shouldn't be applied directly and should be combined with another shampoo. How many times a week should I be using it to see some results?

Nizral 2% shampoo is an antifungal medication used to treat dandruff and certain types of fungal infections on the skin. To use it effectively, you should follow these steps: Wet your hair thoroughly. Apply a small amount of Nizral 2% shampoo to your scalp and massage it in gently to create a lather. Leave the shampoo on your scalp for 3-5 minutes to allow it to work effectively. Rinse your hair thoroughly with water. You can use Nizral 2% shampoo 2-3 times a week for best results, or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is generally safe to use Nizral 2% shampoo on its own without mixing it with another shampoo. Remember to avoid getting the shampoo in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you experience any irritation or unusual side effects, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.

View allI'm dealing with a boil where I've managed to remove the pus, but the core hasn't come out yet. While the pain has gone down, I'm still a bit worried because I've dealt with recurring boils in the past. Right now, I'm dressing it two to three times a day and using Betadine ointment for it. I'm really careful about hygiene when cleaning the boils, but I'm not sure if Betadine is actually good for them. Could you suggest some medicine to help cure the boil and prevent them from coming back?

I'm experiencing quite a bit of pain on the left side tip of my nose. It feels really sore to touch, but I can't see any pimples or anything there. This started in the afternoon, and I'm not sure what's going on. Should I be worried about it, or is there something I can do at home to help with the pain?
You can try using an antibiotic ointment like Mupirocin 2% applied inside the nostril three times a day for 5-7 days to help clear up the infection. Additionally, taking Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain relief can also be helpful. If the pain persists or worsens, it is recommended to see a doctor for further evaluation and management.
