What should I do if I've put Dettol liquid directly on my pennies? I did this last night, applying it on both the outside and inside skin, and now I've got a burning sensation. Can you help me with how to deal with this?

Applying Dettol liquid directly on the penis can cause irritation and a burning sensation on the skin. It is important to wash off the Dettol immediately with plenty of water to minimize further irritation. You can apply a soothing cream containing aloe vera or calamine lotion to help calm the skin and reduce the burning sensation. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen can help with any discomfort. If the burning sensation persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

Can I use Indulekha hair oil even though I'm only 16? My hair used to be thick and bouncy, but now it's really thin and seems to be falling out a lot. I'm worried and not sure what to do. Do you think this hair oil would help, or is it not suitable for someone my age?

Yes, you can use Indulekha Hair Oil at the age of 16. It is safe for use in individuals below 18 years of age. To help with your hair breakage and hair fall, you can apply Indulekha Hair Oil on your scalp and hair, gently massaging it in. Leave it on for at least 2-3 hours or overnight before washing it off with a mild shampoo. You can use it 2-3 times a week for best results.

I've been dealing with this fungal skin issue on my butt crack, and it's really bothering me. I'm using terbinafin cream, but I'm wondering if there's another ointment I should try. Do you think taking tablets would help as well? I'd appreciate any advice you might have.

For fungal skin conditions like the one you have described, in addition to terbinafine cream, you can also apply clotrimazole cream twice a day to the affected area. It is important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further fungal growth. As for oral tablets, you can consider taking fluconazole 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks, but it is best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any oral antifungal medication. Make sure to wear loose-fitting cotton underwear and avoid tight clothing to promote air circulation.
