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.

I'm thinking about starting Evion 400 capsules and I'm a bit confused. Should I take them with water or milk? Also, could you recommend a better alternative to Evion 400 if there are any for better results?

Evion 400 capsules, which contain Vitamin E, can be taken with water. There is no specific requirement to take them with milk. For best results, you can consider taking Supraneuron capsules. They contain a combination of B vitamins and are beneficial for nerve health. The recommended dosage is one capsule daily.

I've been using Altris 5 solution for my grey hair, but it's really pricey, and I'm finishing a 60 ml bottle in about 8 days. Any tips on how I can use it more effectively so it lasts longer?

I'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?
