I'm really worried about losing so much hair every time I apply oil or shampoo. I don't even do an oil massage, just a light application, and I always dilute my shampoo in water. I've tried a bunch of different shampoos, but nothing seems to work. Am I doing something wrong? Is it necessary to do an oil massage? My scalp is super oily, and my hair gets greasy just after two days. Should I keep using oil anyway?

Since you have an extremely oily scalp and experience greasiness within 2 days, you can opt for a clarifying shampoo like "Sebamed Anti-Dandruff Shampoo" to help control oiliness and maintain scalp health. It is not necessary to apply oil if it worsens your scalp condition, but if you still prefer to use oil, choose a non-greasy formula and apply it sparingly to the ends of your hair rather than the scalp

View allI've had this painless rash on the head of my penis for the last month that's sometimes itchy. It keeps disappearing and then coming back. About six weeks ago, I had unprotected sex. Could this be a sexually transmitted disease?
It is recommended to get tested for STDs to rule out any infections. In the meantime, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day on the affected area for 2 weeks. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been given Onabet SD topical solution for a scalp issue. Can you tell me how to apply it? Do I need to leave it in, or should I wash it out after a while? I'm a bit confused about the right way to use it.
Apply locally and rinse it with luke warm water afer 5-10 min of application of the medication.
