Is oily hair good?

Doctor 1

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.

Can you tell me if it's okay to use candid b cream for a fungal infection on my face? I've got these really annoying red and dry patches on my cheeks that look just like dandruff, and I'm a bit worried about them. Is this cream safe to apply there, or should I be trying something else?

Candid B cream can be used for fungal infections on the face. It contains Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone which are effective in treating fungal infections. You can apply a thin layer of Candid B cream on the affected areas on your cheeks twice a day for about 2-4 weeks. Remember to wash your hands before and after applying the cream.

I've been having this weird swelling on my forehead, almost like I bumped it or got bitten by an insect. It doesn't happen too often, maybe 2 or 3 times over the last couple of months, but it's been going on for about six months now. Can anyone help me figure out what it might be?

I'm dealing with a really stubborn fungal infection on my back, stomach, and ear. I've been taking Itraconazole 200 mg for three months and it seemed to clear up, but now, about ten days after stopping the medication, the itching is back, especially on my back and around my ear. Could you suggest a treatment plan or medication to help me get rid of this for good?
