I've been dealing with a lot of itching on my scalp and there's some pain too. My hair is still falling out even though I'm using folica hair tincture. Do you think it will help improve my condition or should I try something else? It's really worrying me.

If you are experiencing itching, pain, and hair loss on your scalp, using Folica hair tincture may help improve your condition. However, it is important to also address the underlying cause of your symptoms. I recommend using Folica hair tincture twice a day, applying it directly to the scalp and gently massaging it in. Additionally, you may consider using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole to help with the itching and inflammation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really curious about using vitamin E and fish liver oil tablets for my hair care. I got the vitamin E 400mg and cod liver oil B.P 300mg tablets from a pharmacy, but I'm unsure about the right dosage. How many of these can I safely take each day? Can you help me figure this out?

Vitamin E and cod liver oil can be beneficial for hair care, but it's essential to follow proper dosages to avoid adverse effects. Recommended Dosages 1. Vitamin E (400mg): The recommended daily intake of vitamin E varies from 15mg to 20mg. Taking 400mg per day is significantly higher than the recommended amount. High doses of vitamin E can cause adverse effects like headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Consider taking 1 tablet (400mg) every 2-3 days. 2. Cod Liver Oil B.P (300mg): Cod liver oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D. The recommended daily intake of cod liver oil varies from 1000mg to 3000mg. Taking 1-2 tablets (300mg each) per day should be safe.
