I've always thought I had good hair, but over time, I've noticed it's not as dense as it used to be. I've constantly struggled with dandruff too. In Bangalore, the water is quite hard, and we usually use borewell or tank water for bathing. I'm wondering if washing my hair with KENT purifier water, which has a TDS level of 80, could have any negative effects. Could this be a better option for my hair problems?

Question

I'm really struggling with jock itch and it's been about 6 months now. I've been using apple cider vinegar on the area, and while it's helped a bit, it's not gone completely. Now I'm getting these boils popping up there and even on my face one after the other. Can someone tell me what treatment will actually get rid of this for good?

Question

I'm curious about using Epilyno cream. My doctor recommended it for a month, but I'm wondering if it's safe to continue using it for a longer period. Could you advise on the implications of long-term use?
