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 really struggling with dark knees, elbows, and underarms, and it's been bothering me for a while. Do you have any suggestions or treatments that could help with this? I'd really appreciate your advice.
Darkening of the skin in these areas can be due to various reasons such as friction, sun exposure, hormonal changes, or certain medical conditions. To help lighten these areas, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. One example is "Melalite Forte cream" which can be applied once daily at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 on these areas can help prevent further darkening. Remember to consult with a dermatologist before starting any new skincare regimen.
