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've been dealing with these itchy rashes for about four months now, and they're driving me crazy! They feel like there's tiny needles pricking me, and my heart starts racing. They start out small but then get really big, and it's mostly at night. It's all over my body, even on my head, and especially bad on my legs. Sometimes I can't breathe well, and my lips and face swell up, which is really scary. My eyes get puffy too. The rashes leave these brown marks on my skin after the itchiness goes down. I'm really worried because no one seems to know what's going on. Can you help me figure out what's happening?

I've noticed these tiny black dots on both my earlobes, kind of the size of a pinhead. When I squeeze them, a little black thing comes out, and that's about it. Should I be concerned? What could they be?
On both earlobes, the tiny pinhead-sized black dots you are describing are likely blackheads. These are caused by clogged hair follicles. To treat this, you can use over-the-counter products containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. I recommend using a face wash with salicylic acid daily, and applying a benzoyl peroxide cream as a spot treatment on the affected areas. Remember to follow the instructions on the product packaging for best results.
