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?

I had an accident a few days ago and ended up with three stitches on the back of my head. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Soframycin on them. What do you think? Should I be careful about anything while applying it?

I'm really worried because I'm about to get married on April 24th, and I just found out I might have a sebaceous cyst. The doctor I visited gave me some meds for a few days and said we can see how it goes. But if it doesn't improve, he mentioned maybe needing a scan. I'm kind of stressed about this, and I'm wondering if there's any way to speed things up, like with some kind of needle procedure or something to take care of it fast? Any advice would be super helpful!

Get a scan done and get it removed,as soon as possible thats the only solution for sebaceous cyst
