I've been experiencing this really annoying itch on my scalp, especially at the back, whenever I apply any type of hair oil. I've tried different ones like almond and mustard oil, but nothing seems to help. I actually went to a dermatologist who said my scalp looks fine and advised me to stop using hair oil altogether. But I'm still curious why this itch happens only with oils. Is there something else I should be doing or trying?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

View allI'm really worried because I've been having these tears in the skin below my scrotum and above the anus for about three months. Initially, it wasn't that bothersome, but now it's started itching quite a bit for the past 45 days. I'm using this Konaz anti-fungal cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. What could be causing this, and what should I do to get some relief?

I've been dealing with serious hair fall and it's really stressing me out. My hair tends to be really fizzy, so I decided to try a rebonding treatment a few months back. At first, everything seemed fine for about four months, but now I'm losing around 50-60 hairs a day, and it's starting to freak me out. Could you please help me understand what's happening and what I should do?
There are many reasons for Hair fall, visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment, consume balanced diet and adequate rest would help.
