I've been dealing with constant dandruff and a really itchy scalp for quite a while now. Over the past two years, my hair's been thinning a lot. A couple of doctors mentioned it might be seborrheic dermatitis. I've got this white to yellowish grainy dandruff that sticks to my hair strands and roots. My scalp gets super oily and greasy really fast, like it's greasy the day after I wash it. There's also acne building up on my scalp, and the itchiness is through the roof. Currently, I'm using Hair4u serum daily, taking Vitamin 12, applying Noskarf lotion every other day, and shampooing regularly. I haven't been oiling my hair either. I've also tried natural remedies like apple cider vinegar and curd. But with the Hair4u 5% minoxidil, the itchiness seems to have gotten worse. I've experimented with so many things but haven't seen any improvement. Any advice on what I should do to tackle this and maybe help my hair grow back?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I'm getting pimples right after sex and they're all over my face. When I stop having sex, my skin gets better but I'm really bothered by the marks left behind. I'm scared to have sex because of these breakouts. What's going on and what can I do about it?

This could be due to hormonal changes or increased sweating during sexual activity leading to clogged pores. I recommend using a topical acne medication containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. Additionally, you can use a gentle cleanser like "Cetaphil" twice a day to keep your face clean. Make sure to also drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy diet to support skin health.
