I'm dealing with this fungal infection on my scalp and it's showing up as patches everywhere. Can anyone recommend a good antifungal oil or shampoo that could help clear it up?

For fungal infection on the scalp, you can use Ketoconazole shampoo. You can apply it to the affected areas, leave it on for 5 minutes, and then rinse off. Use it twice a week for 2-4 weeks for best results.

Got diagnosed with chicken pox today and consulted two doctors, but they both only suggested taking dolo 650. I'm seeing reviews though where other doctors mention antivirals for treatment. Just feeling a bit anxious here. Should I be taking some other medication too?

I'm a bit confused about a medicine called DAZIT that I was given for itching. I've heard it's usually used for depression. Is it actually safe to take it for itching? Would love some clarity on whether it's the right choice.

Betnovate is a steroid cream and should not be used for pimples or the marks caused by them
