I've been using virgin coconut oil on my scalp, and it's been really itchy afterward. Could you help me understand what might be causing this and what steps I should take to fix it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The problem could be an allergic reaction or irritation to the coconut oil. I recommend you stop using the coconut oil and try using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to help with the itching. You can also take an antihistamine like cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) to help reduce the itching. If the itching persists or gets worse, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.

View allI'm curious about this change in my treatment plan. My new doctor switched me from minoxidil to proanagen solution and kera XL serum. She mentioned it's to avoid dependency on minoxidil. Does this sound like the right approach to you?
This can be a reasonable approach to prevent dependency on minoxidil. Proanagen solution contains minoxidil along with other ingredients to promote hair growth, while Kera XL serum is likely a hair care product to support overall hair health. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and use these medications as prescribed. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects, please consult your doctor for further guidance.

Why did my skin get worse after I stopped using Sabi glow and started the sunscreen and moisturizer like the doctor said? My forehead turned really black in just two weeks, and Im wondering why it happened. Now I'm using lumacip plus and kojivit cream, and it's getting better. Is my doctor using trial and error with my skin, and how long will it take for my skin to improve? I've been trying different treatments for more than 4 years now, and I'm concerned.
