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?

View allI'm really struggling with a lot of pimples on my face recently and it's quite frustrating. I've been using acnelak facewash and acnesol cream, but they don't seem to be making any difference. My skin is pretty oily, and I'm not sure what else to try. Could you recommend any medicine or cream that might work for me?
It seems like your current treatment is not effective for your oily skin. I recommend trying a combination of benzoyl peroxide and adapalene gel. You can use Benzac AC gel (2.5%) in the morning and Differin gel (0.1%) at night. Make sure to apply a thin layer on the affected areas after washing your face. Remember to use a gentle cleanser suitable for oily skin and apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness.

I've been dealing with butt acne and it's really bothering me. I'm thinking about using Neutrogena acne wash and Mederma for the scars it left. Do you think these would work? Or is there something else you recommend? I'm really looking for some advice on how to clear this up.
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm a little worried because I have two cans of Volini spray that expired in May 2020, but I've never even opened them. Do you think it might still be safe to use them, or is that not a good idea? I spent a pretty penny on these, so I'm hesitant to just throw them away. Can you offer any advice or is there any leeway with using products past their expiration like this?
Using expired Volini spray (May 2020) is not recommended, as its potency, safety, and efficacy may be compromised, potentially leading to reduced effectiveness or adverse reactions; it's best to err on the side of caution and discard the expired product, even if unopened.
