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'm using Erytop lotion twice a day, once in the morning and then again before I go to bed. Is it okay to apply sunscreen over Erytop in the morning? And at night, can I put on a moisturizer after using the Erytop lotion? Just want to make sure I'm doing it right.

I'm dealing with a fungal infection for about 15 days now and have been using Surfaz SN ointment. It seems like it's getting better, but I still get that itchy feeling sometimes. Could you guide me on what to do next? Should I be taking any pills for this infection? If yes, can you suggest what kind?

In that case you have to use oral and topical Antifungals and also maintain personal Hygiene,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

I'm really confused about whether or not I should be applying oil to my scalp. I've read that some dermatologists say it's not a good idea, but others suggest it's okay. Can someone explain if there's any actual difference between putting oil on the scalp and not doing it? I'm trying to figure out what's best for my hair and scalp health and it's been really confusing with all these mixed messages from experts.
