For your ward's persistent skin rashes and itchiness lasting 15 days, it's essential to consult a dermatologist to determine the underlying cause, which could be allergic reactions, eczema, dermatitis, or other conditions; in the meantime, encourage your ward to avoid scratching, apply cool compresses, and use over-the-counter anti-itch creams or oral antihistamines to alleviate discomfort.

I've been dealing with some really bad dandruff lately. It's not just in my scalp but the whole nose area too, which has turned red, hard, and dry. The scales that come off are either white or yellowish, and they seem kind of oily. Plus, I've got these painful boils on my nose that just won't go away. And there's a lot of itching and hairfall. I'm really worried about all thiswhat could be causing it, and how can I get some relief?

I've been noticing that every time I put oil on my hair, I end up with a headache and this heavy feeling in my head. I'm starting to wonder if I should just stop using oil altogether. Do you have any idea why this is happening or any suggestions on what I should do?
