Question 1

What kills fungus on scalp?

Accepted Answer

Most scalp fungal infections can be treated with topical over-the-counter (OTC) treatments. These come in the form of ointments, shampoos, or foams such as fluconazole.
 It is better to take a Dermatologist consult before using OTC medications.

Question 2

I'm really worried about how frequently I've been masturbating and if that's a reason I ended up with candidal balanoposthitis. Do you think cutting back on masturbation could help fix this problem?

Accepted Answer

Masturbation itself is unlikely to directly cause candidal balanoposthitis. However, excessive masturbation can contribute to the development of this condition indirectly:

_Friction and irritation_: Frequent masturbation can cause friction, leading to irritation and micro-tears in the skin. This can create an environment conducive to Candida overgrowth.

_Moisture accumulation_: Masturbation can lead to increased moisture in the genital area, which can contribute to Candida growth.

_Imbalanced skin pH_: Frequent masturbation can disrupt the natural skin pH, creating an environment that fosters Candida growth.

Limiting masturbation may help alleviate some contributing factors, but it is unlikely to cure candidal balanoposthitis on its own. Treatment typically involves:

_Antifungal medications_: Topical or oral antifungals to address the Candida infection.
_Good genital hygiene_: Keeping the area clean and dry.
_Avoiding irritants_: Reducing friction and avoiding harsh soaps or products.

Question 3

I'm trying to find a good dermaroller for my hair, but I'm on a budget and hoping to spend under Rs. 500. Could you suggest which one would be the best option in that price range? Also, where would be the best place to buy it in India?
