I'm dealing with a dressing issue and could really use some advice. I have a wound dressing made using cotton dipped in povidone iodine solution, and it's stuck pretty firmly to the wound. It's been tough trying to remove it without causing any harm or pain. Do you have any suggestions on how I can safely take it off? I'm really worried about this and want to make sure I don't aggravate my wound further.

View allI've been losing a lot of hair lately, especially during washes and combing. I think it's partly due to the water in Kolkata since it has a lot of iron. Can you recommend a good shampoo for my situation? Also, I'm dealing with health issues like PCOD and low hemoglobin. I'm currently taking Livogen Z, Follihair tablets, and some Ayurvedic medicines like Kanchanaar Guggul and Triphala Ras for ovarian cysts. How long should I continue with the Follihair and Livogen Z? I've also straightened my hair recently, and I've lost a lot in the front. Really worried about how much hair I'm losing, any advice would be appreciated.

I've been dealing with this really itchy scalp issue, and it's getting worse. Whenever I scratch my scalp, these tiny crystals or granules come out under my nails. There's also a plaque-like thing on my scalp, and because of it, my hair is falling out and I feel even more itchy. It's really frustrating. What could be causing this and what should I do?
To help with the itching and flaking, you can try using a medicated shampoo containing coal tar or salicylic acid. Make sure to leave the shampoo on for at least 5-10 minutes before rinsing off. Additionally, you can use a topical corticosteroid solution on the affected areas of your scalp. It is important to follow the instructions provided with these products and use them regularly for best results.
