Is oily hair good?

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 dealing with a frustrating fungal infection and I'm unsure how to choose the right antifungal cream for it. Do you have any recommendations or tips on what I should look for in a good antifungal cream? Also, are there any specific ingredients or types that are more effective than others?

I recommend using Clotrimazole cream, applying it to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks.

I'm really concerned because I was just scratching my balls and out of nowhere I felt this sharp pain. When I checked, I noticed that the skin on my left testicle looked really dry and it seemed like it was cracking or cutting up. This isn't the first time it's happened either, and I just can't figure out why this keeps coming back. Could you help me understand what's going on?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I've been having these mouth ulcers a lot, usually on the inside of my lip or on my gums. It's like a never-ending cycle, even though I'm drinking plenty of water and taking folic acid supplements. Could there be something more serious going on? I'm really hoping for some advice on what might be causing them to keep coming back.

Continue the same and consume balanced diet and maintain oral hygiene,visit ENT doctor for regular followup.
