How can I treat excessive scalp dandruff?

Patient's Query

Some much dandruff in my scalp please suggest me what I do

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

Dandruff can happen due to various reasons like dry skin, sensitivity to hair products, or a type of yeast that naturally lives on the scalp. To help with this, you might want to try using a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo. Look for one with ingredients like zinc pyrithione or ketoconazole. Make sure to wash your hair regularly and avoid scratching your scalp too much. If the dandruff persists despite trying these steps, it might be a good idea to schedule an appointment with dermatologist for evaluation.

Stitches on web of hand have opened and now there is pus and earlier a large red mass on stiches

Male | 14

You may have an infection in the stitches on your hand. When pus comes out, it indicates that there is probably bacteria which is causing the infection. This might have occurred if the wound was not kept clean. If there was a large red lump previously, it could have been an abscess. It’s crucial to have this seen by medical professional because, without proper care, things like these can worsen.

I have fungal infection in my groin area and around belly button. I have been using this medicine ketoconazole neomycin dexpanthenol iodochlorhydroxyquinoline tolnaftate & clobetasol propionate cream for quite some time but it is not able to cure the problem. I'm maintaining a strong hygiene too. Please recommend something

Male | 23

I suggest that you visit a dermatologist who is capable of diagnosing the type and level of the fungal infection. The treatment plan will be based on the diagnosis. Prescription of the suitable antifungal medication will be done followed by advice on hygiene practices to prevent further infection.

I wanna use glutathione as my skin is getting darker

Female | 21

Some people wish for lighter skin, but glutathione may not help. Increased pigmentation can be caused by factors like UV rays or skin issues. Trying to change your complexion with glutathione can be risky and might not work. It’s better to focus on using sunscreen, staying hydrated, and eating a healthy diet to keep your skin healthy and glowing.

I have a rash on my armpits and on both but it mainly itches on my left armpit and I’ve tried putting on antibiotics cream and Benadryl cream and it still itches and not getting better I haven’t been putting on deodorant either because of it

Female | 33

It seems to be a fungal infection in your left armpit. I suggest you see a dermatologist to look into the rash, and get a medication accordingly. Deodorant should also be avoided as it might make the situation worse.
