Why coconut oil is bad for your hair?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Usage of coconut oil on hair depends on hair type. In persons with oily or greasy hair/ scalp, additional application of oil must be avoided to prevent clogging of hair follicles which causes hair loss. In persons with dry or flaky hair/ scalp, any natural oils may be used in moderation to mosturize the hair.

I'm really worried because the foreskin on my penis is really tight and keeps getting these painful cuts. It's super uncomfortable and every time I try to clean, it gets inflamed and red. I've been using CandidB cream for the itching, but the cuts just keep coming back. Can you give me some expert advice on what to do?

It sounds like you're dealing with a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head of the penis, which can cause pain, cuts, and inflammation when you try to clean or retract it. The recurrent redness, cuts, and inflammation you're experiencing could also be due to infection, irritation,or inflammation of the foreskin. Wash the area gently with warm water. Avoid using harsh soaps. Avoid scrubbing the foreskin.If it's difficult to retract, do not force it.Seek a specialist ( urologist ) care.
