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've been dealing with confluent reticulated papillomatosis for about a year now, and the dermatologist I saw gave me a steroid cream. It works for a bit, but then the condition just comes back. It's pretty embarrassing, and I'm really anxious about going out because of it. Is there any permanent treatment for this condition?

I've been struggling with a fungal infection on my penis for the past 1.6 years. I've tried using Surfaz cream, which seems to help for a few weeks, but the infection always comes back. I'm really frustrated with this recurring issue. Can you please tell me if there's a permanent solution to get rid of it for good?

Maintain personal hygiene like take bath twice daily and wear clean clothes etc., visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment which includes oral and topical antifungals.

I'm a 28-year-old woman dealing with vitiligo. Back in 2014, it was almost gone, and I got married, which was great, but about a year and a half later, it returned. Now, I'm going through treatment again with steroids, and the patches keep spreading. I don't have a child yet, and I'm worried because my husband is concerned that if we have a child, they might also suffer from vitiligo. What are our options?

While vitiligo currently doesn't have a permanent cure, there are several treatment options to help manage the condition and improve the appearance of the skin. It's essential to work closely with your healthcare provider to find the treatment plan that works best for you. Keep in mind that results may vary, and a combination of treatments may be needed.
