My sister stays in a hostel, and she's caught a really bad case of head lice from the other girls there. We did some Googling and found treatment centers, but they all seem to be for kids. Can she get treated at your clinic? We're really concerned because head lice can seriously affect a person's health, and we've tried all sorts of home remedies, but nothing's working anymore.

I've been using Fourderm cream for about 10 days now and it helped reduce the itching quite a bit, but after a few days, the itching came back in the hairy area around my private parts, not on the penis. This has been happening for the last 6 months, and now I've also started feeling itchy in my armpits. Do you have any advice or suggestions on what medicine I should consider?
-It seems like a fungal infection, which can recur if not treated fully. Avoid using Fourderm long-term, as it contains steroids. Use an antifungal cream like clotrimazole twice daily for at least 2 weeks, keep the areas dry, and consult a doctor for furt

I've been really anxious since my circumcision surgery 44 days ago because the stitches are still there. How much longer do these typically take to dissolve? Also, I'm curious when the sensitivity might start to decrease. Is there anything I should be doing in the meantime?
No need to worry they dissolve in 120-180 days depending upon the type of material used, sensitivity will become less with time.
