I'm really struggling with some intense dandruff that's all over my hair, and it's gotten so bad you can see the flakes just sitting on my hair, even from a distance. It's also becoming super irritating whenever I try to wash my hair, and now I've noticed I've got lice as well. What can I do to fix this? I'm really worried.

I'm dealing with a fungal infection between my thighs and buttocks area. My doctor recommended Ebernet, but unfortunately, it hasn't helped much. Do you have any other ointment suggestions that might be more effective? I'm worried about the discomfort and would appreciate any help you can provide.

I had laser surgery for two keloids on my shoulders back in 2009, but after the procedure, they grew five times bigger. Now they keep getting larger and cause a sharp, pricking pain. I've tried cortisone injections for over a year and silicone gel sheets, but nothing's helped. Are there any other proven treatments to stop the growth and ease the pain?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I've developed some rashes on my hips that resemble an infection and they're really itchy. I tried using itch guard but it didn't help. I'm quite concerned about it. Could you please advise me on what to do next?

Sounds like you may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare provider.
