Is oily hair good?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Sebum or oil is secreted from scalp which naturally nourishes the hair and keeps it healthy. Only when the secretions become excessive, they clog the hair follicles, trap dust and cause hair loss.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with balanitis, specifically candida balanitis, for a while now. About a month ago, my doctor said that's what it is, but I've noticed that whenever my penis gets hard, it turns red, and that's been happening for over six months. I've used surfaz cream and some antibiotics my urologist suggested, which seemed to clear up the infection. But then after seeing a dermatologist for the infection scars, he gave me desonide cream. When I masturbated two weeks later, the red spots came back. I went back to the dermatologist, and now I'm using onabet sd lotion, a fluconazole tablet, and a tablet called dazit. I just want to know how to completely get rid of this condition. I'm also concerned if the redness when my penis is hard is due to the infection. My sugar level is 119, so I don't have diabetes, and I'm 25. What should I do?

Even though superficially Candida looks washed off, systemically it's present that's the cause of recurrence,You to use the prescribed medicine and follow your doctor advice, maintain personal hygiene,no need to worry it's curable,have patience.

I'm having these rashes and itches on my face, especially where I shave. Sometimes there's this burning sensation. It's been going on for over 10 years now, and I've tried so many medicines, but nothing seems to work. Some doctors said it's an allergy from my hair oil. Others think my skin's just really dry and sensitive. Plus, I'm dealing with hair fall and itching in my scalp too. Any advice on what could be going on or what I should try next?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.
