Question 1

Hi, Ive always had good hair, but over time, Ive noticed my hair density is reducing. Ive also always struggled with dandruff. The water here in Bangalore is very hard since we use borewell or tank water for bathing. Im thinking of switching to using KENT purifier water with TDS 80 for hair washing. Would that be better for my hair, or could it have any negative effects?

You can purchase and use water softeners on a bucket of water before taking bath.

Accepted Answer

Severe itching, dry skin, and swelling in the genital area can be uncomfortable and concerning.

Possible Causes

1. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Bacterial infections can cause itching, burning, and swelling in the genital area.
2. Vaginal Yeast Infection: Fungal infections can lead to itching, redness, and swelling in the vaginal area.
3. Contact Dermatitis: Irritation from soaps, detergents, or other substances can cause itching, redness, and dry skin.
4. Eczema or Atopic Dermatitis: Skin conditions like eczema can cause itching, dryness, and inflammation in the affected area.

Immediate Steps

1. Encourage Your Wife to Practice Good Hygiene: Urinate when needed, wipe from front to back, and avoid using scented soaps or bubble baths.
2. Apply a Topical Cream or Ointment: Over-the-counter (OTC) creams or ointments like hydrocortisone, calamine lotion, or antifungal creams can help soothe the skin and reduce itching.
3. Take an OTC Antihistamine: If the itching is severe, an antihistamine like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can help relieve itching and reduce the allergic response.
