I'm really struggling with flaky dandruff and it's been going on for about a year now. I've tried using selsun and fungiside shampoos twice a week, but they haven't helped at all. Could you give me some advice on what else I might try?

Flaky dandruff that is not responding to over-the-counter shampoos may require a stronger treatment. I recommend trying a shampoo containing ketoconazole, such as Nizoral. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks. If there is still no improvement, you may need a prescription-strength shampoo or medication from a dermatologist.

View allI'm curious about the combination of using Zydip lotion with coconut oil for hair growth and Nintop lotion in the morning. Is it safe to use them together, and do you think it might actually help with hair growth? I've also heard mixed things, so I'm kind of worried. What should I expect, and are there any side effects I should watch out for?
It sounds like your doctor has put together a comprehensive treatment plan to help with hair regrowth, and Zydip lotion with coconut oil combined with Nintop is a solid approach. Stick with the treatment as directed, and make sure to consult your doctor if you notice any unwanted side effects or if the hair thinning continues.

I've had these papillae on the left side of my tongue for about a month now, with four of them there. I started taking a daily Zincovit tablet around 15 days ago, but I haven't noticed any improvement. They don't hurt or anything, but I'm just concerned. Could you advise on what might be going on or suggest something that could help?
If your tongues papillae are not painful and you're not experiencing any other symptoms, it's usually not a cause for concern, but follow-up with a healthcare provider can help to reassure you and ensure that nothing more serious is going on.
