I'm struggling with this really frustrating dandruff issue. It's weird because it seems like the dandruff is stuck in my hair and not coming out even when I try to shake it loose. My scalp is super dry, which doesn't help. Could you suggest a shampoo, oil, or maybe some other solution that might help with this problem?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I recently noticed some warts around the base of my penis, so I tried using this product called Wart Magic. I put it on the warts three times, but after the third time, it started burning really badly and it just won't stop. I'm stuck in a training course for the next six weeks and I can't see a doctor right now. What can I do to get some relief from this burning sensation?
