Dandruff can be treated with lotions and shampoo (not commercial ones). Some people do have more oily scalp which cause visible flakes which we call dandruff. There are some other conditions also which can present like flaking of the scalp and have to be ruled out. Do not apply oil on scalp as it will increase the problem.

Question

I'm in Delhi and dealing with a lot of hairfall. I'm pretty sure it's the water here because there's a lot of salt in it, and it just builds up on my scalp like dandruff. I've tried different oils and shampoos, but nothing seems to be working. I've been oiling my hair regularly, but it's not making any difference. Any advice on what I can do?

Question

I'm curious if using a ready-made Aloe Vera Gel mixed with Vitamin E is a good idea for lightening the dark patches on my face. I've been advised by a doctor on Practo to use SPF 30 for extra protection, but I'm wondering if this Aloe Vera and Vitamin E mix might be beneficial for my skin concerns. What do you think?

Question

I've noticed that when I have to stand for long periods, my feet start swelling, and I get these little red spots on my feet and calves. It seems to happen pretty quickly after I start feeling some itchiness down there. The spots start off small but then kind of join together to form larger patches. My skin doesnt peel, but my feet do get pretty swollen. It usually takes a couple of days for the spots to go away, and by the next day, the swelling decreases if I rest. I also get this when I fly for long hours. I had a Doppler test done, and they said there's no DVT. What could be causing this? And is there anything I should be doing to prevent it?
