I'm really worried about my thin hair and I'm looking to increase its volume. I've heard about Follihair tablets and I'm wondering if it's safe to take them without a prescription. Also, how long would it take to see any effects if I start taking them? Could you please advise me on this?

I've been dealing with tinea cruris and my doctor prescribed me to take gris ODT for a couple of weeks and to use XYZal 10 mg as needed, along with Onabet cream without steroids. I followed this for two weeks and the infection seems almost gone, but the doctor advised me to continue the gris ODT for another week and the cream for two more weeks. Occasionally, I still get a light itching sensation around my area. Should I keep taking gris ODT for even longer? If so, how many more weeks should I continue? Also, can you suggest a good soap to use for the genital area?
You can use a gentle and mild soap for the genital area, such as Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar or Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar. Make sure to avoid harsh soaps or those with strong fragrances to prevent irritation. Yes, you should continue taking Gris ODT as advised by your doctor. I recommend continuing Gris ODT for another week to ensure the infection is completely gone

I'm a bit confused about how to use the propysalic nf lotion that was prescribed for my scalp condition. Should I be applying it just to my scalp, or is it okay to get some on my hair too? I'm not sure since I have medium length hair and don't want to do it wrong. Could you clarify how I should be applying it?
Propysalic NF lotion is a topical treatment for scalp conditions like psoriasis, dandruff, or seborrheic dermatitis. *Application Instructions* 1. *Wash your hair*: Before applying the lotion, wash your hair with a mild shampoo. 2. *Towel-dry*: Gently towel-dry your hair, making sure it's not soaking wet. 3. *Apply to scalp*: Use the lotion only on your scalp, avoiding the hair shafts as much as possible. 4. *Massage gently*: Massage the lotion into your scalp using your fingertips. 5. *Leave it on*: Leave the lotion on for the recommended time, usually 30 minutes to an hour, before rinsing. *Tips for Medium-Length Hair* 1. *Section your hair*: Divide your hair into sections to make it easier to apply the lotion to your scalp. 2. *Use a scalp massager*: A scalp massager can help you apply the lotion more evenly and massage it into your scalp. 3. *Avoid over-applying*: Be careful not to apply too much lotion, as this can weigh your hair down and make it greasy.
