View allI'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?
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.

I'm dealing with pimples, and my family doctor previously suggested I use E45 cream and take ERYTHROCIN 250MG tablets. However, he's currently unavailable, and I'm unsure about the exact dosage I should be on. Can you offer any guidance or advice on this?

I'm really worried because my toddler son accidentally scratched my face with his nails, and now there's a scar that's left a black mark. The new skin has already started to come in, but the mark is still there. Could you recommend an ointment or anything I can do to help it fade?
You can apply Mederma ointment on the scar to help reduce its appearance. Apply a thin layer of Mederma gel on the scar twice a day and gently massage it into the skin. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for best results.
