I've got this cut or rash on my testicles from playing outside in the heat, and I'm wondering if it's okay to use clindamycin and adapalene gel on it since I know they're antibiotics. Is this the right thing to use, or should I try something else?

I'm really struggling with lice and nits in my hair. I used Mediker shampoo but there are still some left even after one wash. Is it okay to use it more than once a week? How long should I wait between washes if I want to use it again?

For effective lice and nit removal, Mediker shampoo can be used again after a gap of 7-10 days, as the second application helps kill any newly hatched lice; however, always follow the product instructions and consult a doctor or dermatologist for personalized advice, as overusing the shampoo can lead to scalp irritation and dryness.
