Why my hair is oily even after washed?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Shampooing too little or too often contributes to greasy hair , washing more than once a day can produce more oil to make up for extra shampooing

I've always had dry lips, even though I try to stay hydrated. My skin keeps peeling off, and now my lips have turned dark. I'm really looking for a way to fix this permanently. What can I do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing chronic dryness and peeling of your lips. To help improve the condition of your lips, I recommend using a lip balm containing ingredients like beeswax, shea butter, and vitamin E. You can try using Burt's Bees Lip Balm regularly throughout the day to keep your lips moisturized. Additionally, you can apply a thin layer of Aquaphor Healing Ointment before bedtime to help repair and hydrate your lips overnight. Remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day to maintain hydration from within.

I've been dealing with a fungal infection on my penis for a few months now. I saw my GP and they gave me Daktarin cream, which really helped with the symptoms. But now I've run out and I'm noticing the dry skin coming back. I got prescribed Daktacort cream this time, but it says not to use it on the genital area. Is it actually safe to use there? Also, since it's just mild dry skin at this point, could using shea butter as a moisturizer be a good idea?

Daktacort cream contains an antifungal (miconazole) and a mild corticosteroid (hydrocortisone) which can be effective for fungal infections. However, it is not recommended for use on the genital region due to the presence of the corticosteroid which can cause thinning of the skin in that area. It is best to consult your healthcare provider for an alternative treatment for your genital fungal infection. As for using shea butter as a moisturizer for mild dry skin, it can be a good option as shea butter is known for its moisturizing properties.
