Which shampoo is best for hair growth?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Shampoo doesnt promote hair growth but it can keep your scalp oil and dirt free and clean. Always choose a mild shampoo and dilute it with water before using it

I've been dealing with this really uncomfortable itching on my scrotum and the head of my penis for about 34 days now. The scrotum is also oozing a clear, smelly liquid, and the penis head looks a bit swollen with severe itching. It's not affecting my thighs, just the scrotum and penis head. I'm really worried and not sure whats going on. Can anyone help figure out what this might be?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection in the genital area. To treat this condition, you can use an antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole. Apply the cream on the affected areas, including the scrotum sac and penis head. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing to help with the healing process.

I've been advised to start using Deriva CMS gel for my cystic acne. The issue is my wedding is on the 20th of this month, and I just started using it two days ago. A friend told me that this gel might cause more pimples at first before gradually improving acne. I'm really unsure about continuing its use with my big day coming up. Could you guide me on whether it's safe to keep using it before my wedding?

It is common for acne medications like Deriva CMS gel to cause an initial flare-up of acne before improvement is seen. This is due to the medication bringing underlying acne to the surface. However, it is important to continue using the gel as prescribed by your doctor for best results. To manage any potential flare-ups before your marriage, you can consider starting the gel at a lower frequency (e.g. every other day) and gradually increasing to daily use as your skin adjusts. Additionally, you can use a gentle moisturizer to help reduce any dryness or irritation that may occur. Overall, it is safe to continue using Deriva CMS gel as prescribed by your doctor. Remember to follow your doctor's instructions for the best outcome.
