Question

I'm a 25-year-old guy, and I'm having some hair issues that I'm really concerned about. Every time I take a shower, I lose about 10 to 20 strands of hair, sometimes even more. It's been worrying me quite a bit, especially because I have curly hair with mild dandruff. If I skip washing my hair for just one day, my scalp gets super oily, and the dandruff gets worse. And when I shave my head, I notice patchy dandruff along with some red spots on my scalp. Is there something I should be worried about here or some steps I can take to address these?

Question

I'm wondering if the Doctor Touch and Glow Dual Fairness Sunscreen is safe for my skin. Can it actually work for all skin types? I'm a bit worried because I've had reactions to certain products before. Any insights would really help!

Question

I think I might have a staph infection. It's looking kind of purple and there's this big red spot around it, and it's pretty painful. Should I have it checked out?
