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've been dealing with a ringworm infection for about four months now. I've tried using Onabet ointment, Sapat lotion, and even Dettol, but nothing seems to work. The infection is only getting worse, spreading to my underarms, near my genital area, and thighs. Could you suggest what I should do or apply? Should I consider getting a test done?
Four months of ringworm infection requires a more comprehensive approach. *Immediate Actions* 1. *Stop using Onabet ointment, Sapat lotion, and Detol*: These may not be effective against ringworm. 2. *Keep the affected areas clean and dry*: Wash with mild soap and warm water. *Alternative Treatments* 1. *Clotrimazole cream or powder*: Apply twice a day for 2-4 weeks. 2. *Terbinafine cream or powder*: Apply twice a day for 2-4 weeks. 3. *Itraconazole capsules*: Consult a doctor for prescription and dosage. *Additional Measures* 1. *Wear loose, breathable clothing*: Reduce moisture accumulation. 2. *Change clothes and bed sheets regularly*: Prevent reinfection. 3. *Avoid sharing personal items*: Towels, clothes, etc. *Medical Consultation* 1. *Consult a dermatologist*: Get a proper diagnosis and guidance. 2. *Fungal culture test*: Confirm the infection and identify the fungal strain. 3. *Blood tests*: Rule out underlying conditions, such as diabetes or immune system disorders. *Prevention* 1. *Maintain good hygiene*: Regularly wash and dry affected areas. 2. *Avoid close contact with infected individuals*: Prevent transmission. 3. *Keep pets clean and healthy*: Regular grooming and veterinary check-ups.

Is there somewhere in Pune where I can get them? Also, do you need to take these injections regularly or just once in a while to maintain the results?
