Question 1

No: Seborrhea causes itchiness. Shampoo daily with a dandruff shampoo.

Question 2

Dandruff: Use dandruff shampoo 1-2 x weekly. May need Hydrocortisone lotion.

Question 3

i have gray itchy patches right where my pubic hair is( close to the vagina) any idea what it is / how to treat it?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluated: I would be concerned about possible early genital warts and I would see a gynecologist or at least your family doctor to take a look.

Question 4

i have hair loss when hair tries to grow back my scalp has a dent, itchiness, red spot, some type of liquid coming from it and many grey hairs in spot?

Accepted Answer

Fungal infection: You may have kerion celsi which is caused by a fungus. You need treatment from a dermatologist

Question 5

what do you think i have? my scalp looks like the gray patch ringworm at times there has been sores like a rash or a pimple. also, black little nits like a fruit fly maybe? i feel itchy with scalp, hair feels different like it is nappy in spots, also hard

Accepted Answer

From : From your description, you may have ringworm of the scalp which is actually caused by a fungus, not a worm.  Of course, without examining you and sending cultures, i cannot tell for sure what it is.  A fungal infection of the scalp is more difficult to treat than fungal infections elsewhere.  Treatment usually includes 1-2 months of a prescription oral medication.  You should give your doctor a call and have them take a look at it.  They will hopefully be able to tell exactly what it is so you can get the proper treatment.  Good luck!

Question 6

discoloration (gray/white) of penis head glands and inflammation/burning. some smegma at rim. occasionally itchy, and virgin. what and how can i cure?

Accepted Answer

Follow...: Most likely, your described scenario is long foreskin-related. There would be no cure but modification with gentle regular cleansing and drying without harsh soap of agent. If looking like being infected, apply anti-fungal cream with 1% hydrocortisone lightly daily after above care. If the bother persists, circumcision would be the choice of effective long-term care. Best...

Question 7

my child is 5 years old and her hair is vary dry she will scratch it until it bleed i done try almost everything. what is the thing to use for her hair to stop the itchy and dryness?

Accepted Answer

Pediatrician: That’s a lot of itching and scratching!  Would suggest taking your daughter to her pediatrician to find the cause of her itching.  It could be something other than dry skin.  Doctor will recommend the appropriate treatment.  Best of luck!

Question 8

Let me help: To treat it right you have to know the reason, but for know you could some off the counter.

Question 9

i use epilator for my amrpits. but why my they become very itchy when hair start growing back? and can you give any solution to stop itching?

Accepted Answer

Epilator: Any hair can become itchy when it grows back. Try a low dose hydrocortisone cream to help with the itching.

Question 10

i recently trimmed some of my pubic hair, and now that area is very itchy, especially when wearing underwear. is there any way to stop the itching?

Accepted Answer

Don't shave closely.: MANSCAPING:  If you shave very closely, you increase the itchiness caused by hairs caught beneath the skin surface. If you want a "neat" appearance, try trimming the hair with an electric clipper instead. For itch now, some people get relief from aloe vera gel, hydrocortisone cream, or Gold Bond medicated powder. If itching continues, consider a private virtual visit with a HealthTap doctor.
