I've been dealing with this really itchy scalp issue, and it's getting worse. Whenever I scratch my scalp, these tiny crystals or granules come out under my nails. There's also a plaque-like thing on my scalp, and because of it, my hair is falling out and I feel even more itchy. It's really frustrating. What could be causing this and what should I do?

To help with the itching and flaking, you can try using a medicated shampoo containing coal tar or salicylic acid. Make sure to leave the shampoo on for at least 5-10 minutes before rinsing off. Additionally, you can use a topical corticosteroid solution on the affected areas of your scalp. It is important to follow the instructions provided with these products and use them regularly for best results.

I'm a 31-year-old woman from India, and I'm getting married in just two months. I'm really worried about some skin issues. I've got dark underarms and there's some kind of black color or pigmentation around my private parts and inner thighs. I don't know if it's an allergy or something else. Also, I have boil marks on my bums. And my lips, which used to be pink, are starting to get dark from the lower side and the middle. Can you recommend any cream or tablets that might help me clear these up quickly?

I've been noticing some pores on my face lately and it's really bothering me. I've heard about kromaglo cream and I'm wondering if it actually helps with reducing or removing these pores? Or is there perhaps another cream that's better for closing up facial pores? Any advice would be appreciated!
