I'm really confused about whether or not I should be applying oil to my scalp. I've read that some dermatologists say it's not a good idea, but others suggest it's okay. Can someone explain if there's any actual difference between putting oil on the scalp and not doing it? I'm trying to figure out what's best for my hair and scalp health and it's been really confusing with all these mixed messages from experts.

I'm dealing with a stubborn fungal infection around my genitals and it's been a real pain for about 3 years now. I've tried creams like Soframycin and taken Candistat tablets, but nothing seems to help long-term. It tends to get worse when I sweat, and it's really itchy and turns red. Im worried and don't know what else to try. Do you have any advice on what could work or whats causing this?
A persistent fungal infection near the genitals, especially one that increases with sweat and causes itching and redness, often requires strong, prolonged antifungal treatment. If the current treatment hasnt been effective, I recommend following up with your doctor for a more tailored approach, potentially involving oral antifungal medication and more careful management of moisture and hygiene in the affected area.
