I'm using indigo power to dye my hair, and I've noticed that it makes my scalp itchy and my hair really dry. Are there any natural alternatives or remedies that could help with this?

View allI'm dealing with this issue for about 56 weeks now. I've got these small rashes on the skin of the penis cap and the inner skin too. Sometimes they seem to clear up, but then they come back. It also hurts during sex. Can you tell me what's going on?
Recurring Elevated CRP Levels in a 3-Year-Old _Possible Causes_ 1. _Recurring infections_: Frequent infections, such as ear infections, pneumonia, or urinary tract infections, can cause elevated CRP levels. 2. _Autoimmune disorders_: Conditions like juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can cause chronic inflammation and elevated CRP levels. 3. _Allergies or sensitivities_: Food allergies or sensitivities can cause inflammation and elevated CRP levels. 4. _Gastrointestinal issues_: Conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can cause inflammation and elevated CRP levels. _Recommended Actions_ 1. _Consult a pediatrician or pediatric rheumatologist_: Discuss your nephew's recurring elevated CRP levels and determine the best course of action. 2. _Comprehensive diagnostic workup_: Consider additional tests, such as: - Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) - Liver function tests (LFTs) - Stool tests for gastrointestinal pathogens - Imaging studies (e.g., X-rays, ultrasound) to rule out underlying conditions 3. _Monitor CRP levels and overall health_: Regularly check CRP levels and monitor your nephew's overall health, including his appetite, vomiting, and stool habits. _Possible Treatment Options_ 1. _Antibiotics or antivirals_: If an underlying infection is identified. 2. _Anti-inflammatory medications_: To manage inflammation and reduce CRP levels. 3. _Immunosuppressive medications_: If an autoimmune disorder is diagnosed. 4. _Dietary changes_: If food allergies or sensitivities are suspected.

I've been feeling something moving all over my body, kind of like ants crawling. It's really irritating and sometimes I get pimples that look like ant bites. Could you help me figure out if this is some sort of worm or infection?
Could be due to a condition called Formication, where a person feels like insects are crawling on or under their skin. This sensation can be caused by various factors such as anxiety, stress, drug use, or certain medical conditions. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try over-the-counter antihistamines like Cetirizine (10mg once daily) to help with the itching and irritation.

I've accidentally torn off a piece of my nail at the base of my thumb, and now half of my lunula is still there, but the other half is missing along with the nail. The exposed nail bed is kind of raised and red. I'm really worried about how long it's going to take to heal and whether my lunula is going to grow back to look like it did before or if it's just going to grow over with clear nail. Any insights on what I can expect?
The healing time for a ripped nail at the base of the thumb can take around 6-12 weeks for the nail bed to fully recover, and 3-6 months for the nail to regrow completely; as for the lunula, it's likely that the exposed area will fill in with new nail growth, but the shape and appearance of the lunula might be altered, and it may not perfectly restore to its original half-moon shape.
