I've been having a really annoying issue with my scalp lately. It's super itchy and flaky, and there's a bunch of hair falling out. On top of that, it's like I'm getting these grainy, salt-like particles on my scalp that itch as well. It's honestly driving me nuts because my scalp feels dirty just a day after I wash it. I've been using Head & Shoulders but it's not helping. What could be going on with my scalp? Any advice on how to fix this?

View allMy husband has been struggling with a recurring fungal infection, and despite trying different medications, it keeps coming back. Can you recommend a medicine that can completely get rid of it?
I recommend trying Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) at a dosage of 150mg once a week for 4-6 weeks. Additionally, applying Clotrimazole cream (brand name Lotrimin) twice daily to the affected area can help in faster resolution of the infection. Remember to consult a doctor before starting any new medication.

I've been dealing with a lot of itching and irritation, especially in my private area, and I've found that using prickly heat powder after a shower really helps. I'm wondering if it's safe to use it every day in that sensitive area or if it might cause any issues in the long run. Is this a normal practice, or should I be concerned about any side effects?
No,it is not advised .

I'm really worried about this skin rash I've had for 3 years. It always seems to flare up after I chew tobacco. The rash just doesn't go away easily, and I have to take half a Cetrizine pill to get some relief. I'm really concerned if this could be related to HIV. Can you help?
The skin rash triggered by chewing tobacco is unlikely to be directly related to HIV, as HIV-related rashes typically occur in conjunction with other symptoms like fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes; instead, consider consulting a dermatologist to determine the underlying cause of the rash, which could be an allergic reaction or contact dermatitis, and follow their recommended treatment plan, while also avoiding tobacco and other potential triggers.
