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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

I'm trying to find a qualified surgeon to remove a mole located close to my right eye. It's been bothering me for a while, and I'm a bit worried about the procedure, especially since it's so near to my eye. Can you recommend someone who specializes in this kind of surgery, or should I be asking for a specific type of specialist? Any advice on what I should consider before going through with this would be really helpful.
For mole removal near the eye, consider consulting a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon specializing in eyelid surgery, who has expertise in removing moles from sensitive areas with minimal scarring. They will assess the mole and recommend the best removal method, which may include surgical excision, shaving, or laser treatment. Be sure to discuss your concerns, the procedure, and post-operative care with your chosen surgeon.

I'm really worried about this recurring fungal infection I've had for the last 10 years. It mostly flares up on my thighs, and it's really frustrating. Do you have any suggestions on how to manage or prevent it?
This type of fungal infection in the thighs can be treated with antifungal medications. I recommend using **Clotrimazole cream** twice daily on the affected areas for at least 2-4 weeks. Additionally, taking **Fluconazole** tablets once a week for 4-6 weeks can also help in treating the infection. It is important to maintain good hygiene and keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent recurrence.
