Q: I have long hair that I wash twice a week. I normally tie it in a knot (a tangled mass in hair,wool,etc). In summer and during the rainy season I find that I get an unpleasant smell. What should I do? Nina Wilson

A: Dandruff and fungal (comes from fungus meaning is any of a large group of spore-producing organisms which feed on organic matter ) infections increase during the summer and rainy season. Ensure that your hair is not damp when you tie it up. We always care and dry it in winter but in summer we tend to tie it up while it is still damp. Also when at home you should open and air your hair to get rid of the smell. There are fragrances for the hair if that is what you like. A last rinse of water with a bit of lemon juice is also good to give a fresh, clean, citrus smell to your hair.
Q: I have a young daughter who invariably brings lice (comes from louse which meaning is a small wingless parasitic insect which infests human skin and hair ) from school. When I have the problem it is embarrassing. What do I do? Hina

A: Anti-lice medication is the right thing to do. Apply on the scalp and leave for the time indicated; rinse well later. This routine needs to be repeated as many times as the product requires. Try hair packs with nourishing protein ingredients to counter any negative effects of lice treatment.

Q: I was recently gifted a hydrating shower gel and my friend told me to use it at night for best results. I find that it leaves a film on my body and wonder if it is natural. Nicole kidman

A: Well, it depends on the ingredients. Some of the moisturising shower gels are meant to leave some residue on the skin. The first step is to check the ingredients and then use. Don’t scrub and rub a shower gel like an ordinary soap. Take a small amount and rub it in small circular motions to get the surface dirt off. Remember even soaps that are expected to moisturise leave residues behind. As long as there is no skin outbreak, it is safe to use such products.

Q: I have a skin problem that causes large greyish–white patches on my back. They tend to itch when I feel hot and when I perspire or when I am stressed. It is extremely uncomfortable. Could you suggest some remedies? Ricky Martin

A: You should consult a dermatologist, though it probably may not be of major concern. A grey, white patch on the skin may be caused by several things. Sometimes a small area of skin becomes irritated and develops mild eczema (a medical condition in which patches of skin become rough and inflamed with blisters which cause itching and bleeding) it could also be an allergy. You should consult a doctor, who will prescribe medication after examining it.
