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've been having these boils on my buttocks and they're incredibly painful. I've tried a few medicines but they arent really helping. Could you please guide me on what to do? I'm feeling really uncomfortable and worried about this.

I recommend trying an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin. Apply it to the affected area three times a day after cleaning the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to promote healing. If the boils do not improve or if you develop a fever, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've just turned 27 and I've noticed more and more white hair showing up in my beard. It's happening regularly and it's really starting to worry me. I'm not sure what's causing this or what I can do about it. Any ideas on what might be going on or any good solutions? I've even attached a couple of images for more context.

Premature graying of hair can be due to various factors such as genetics, stress, nutritional deficiencies, or certain medical conditions. Make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, manage stress levels, and consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
