Lemon is usually used in hair oils and shampoos. But directly applying it may irritate the scalp skin. Do a patch test before applying it.

I'm dealing with a fungus issue near my vaginal area that's been going on for about three months now. I've been taking medication as prescribed by my doctor, but the problem starts all over again and spreads if I stop taking them. I'm really concerned and not sure what to do next. Any advice?

Indicates a recurring fungal infection. To treat this effectively, I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice daily for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) may be prescribed by your doctor for systemic treatment. It is important to maintain good hygiene, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid tight clothing to prevent further spread of the infection.

I'm a 29-year-old guy, and my doctor gave me Alaspan tablets for my dry and itchy skin because it's apparently some allergy issue. I noticed that Algo tablets have the same stuff in them but they're cheaper. Do you think it's okay for me to switch to Algo? Also, are there any other cheaper options you could recommend besides Alaspan?

If algo is working for you, you can use it as both are same .
