I've been dealing with eczema on my right leg since 2011, and it's been really frustrating. It itches all the time and the scratching has left these dark, patchy marks that just won't go away. It's dry eczema, and as far as I know, I'm not allergic to anything, so I'm really puzzled about what's causing it. It's only on my leg, and steroids and moisturizers haven't been helping at all. What can I do to cure it?

I'm dealing with this fungal infection on my scalp and it's showing up as patches everywhere. Can anyone recommend a good antifungal oil or shampoo that could help clear it up?

For fungal infection on the scalp, you can use Ketoconazole shampoo. You can apply it to the affected areas, leave it on for 5 minutes, and then rinse off. Use it twice a week for 2-4 weeks for best results.

I've been struggling with dandruff for a really long time, and honestly, it's starting to get on my nerves. It flakes out whenever I run my fingers through my hair or even when I'm just sitting still. I'm really curious about what might be causing this. Is it something in my diet or maybe my shampoo? Could it be related to stress or maybe something else entirely? I'm looking for some real advice on what I can do to finally get rid of it. Any thoughts on treatments or remedies that really work?
