I'm having some itching near my private area and I used Ring Guard skin cream which helped, but the itching came back. I'm wondering what could be causing this and what I can do to stop it for good. Is there something else I should be using or trying? Its really uncomfortable and Im worried about whats happening down there. Any advice?

The recurring itching near your private area may indicate an underlying fungal or bacterial infection; consider consulting a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment, and in the meantime, maintain good hygiene, wear breathable clothing, and avoid scratching the area to prevent further irritation

I've been dealing with a lot of itching on my scalp and there's some pain too. My hair is still falling out even though I'm using folica hair tincture. Do you think it will help improve my condition or should I try something else? It's really worrying me.

If you are experiencing itching, pain, and hair loss on your scalp, using Folica hair tincture may help improve your condition. However, it is important to also address the underlying cause of your symptoms. I recommend using Folica hair tincture twice a day, applying it directly to the scalp and gently massaging it in. Additionally, you may consider using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole to help with the itching and inflammation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
