I'm dealing with really bad scalp itching and dandruff, and my doctor recommended using medicated shampoos with alternate-day head baths. But I have an eye surgery coming up next week and can't wash my hair for at least 15 days after. How can I manage the itching and dandruff without taking head baths during that time?

To manage dandruff and scalp itching before and after eye surgery without frequent hair washing, consider using medicated shampoos less frequently, employing natural remedies like coconut oil or apple cider vinegar rinses, and focusing on scalp hygiene with dry shampoo and gentle cleansing methods. Consult your doctor about using a medicated shampoo with a longer interval between washes or trying alternative treatments like topical corticosteroids if needed.

View allI was diagnosed with Jaundice back in July and it took about a month for me to recover. My doctor mentioned I could eat oily foods once I was better. But even months before the Jaundice, I started losing a lot of hair, and now it's really concerning. My hair used to be thick, but now I've lost about two-thirds of it and what's left is dry and brittle. After the illness, my hemoglobin is 10.8, and the doctor said it'd return to normal eventually, so no meds were suggested. I've moved back to Bangalore and can't ask my original doctor about this hair fall issue. Could Jaundice be causing me to lose my hair? How can I get my hair back to its normal state? Is it safe to take hair fall tablets now, especially with my body still recovering? I'm also noticing that my menstrual days have become painful since my illness, though the cycle's regular. Could all these changes be connected?
Jaundice itself doesn't directly cause balding, but the underlying conditions that led to jaundice, such as liver disease or hemolytic anemia, can contribute to hair loss. Given your history of jaundice and current hair loss, it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or hepatologist, to rule out any underlying liver or blood-related conditions. Regarding hair loss treatment, your doctor may recommend: 1. Iron supplements: Given your low hemoglobin (10.8), iron supplements might help. 2. Vitamin B12 injections: Jaundice can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency, which may contribute to hair loss.

I'm noticing this big dark patch of skin that starts from my inner buttocks. It's not causing any discomfort, pain, or itchiness, but I'm really worried about it. Also, I've got these big, hard pimples on my buttock cheeks. What could be going on here?
