Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that primarily affects the scalp but can also occur on other parts of the body, including the face, chest, and back. Here's some information about it: 1. **causes:** the exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of factors, including genetics, an overgrowth of yeast on the skin (malassezia), and an abnormal response of the immune system. 2. **symptoms:** common symptoms include red, scaly, and itchy skin. On the scalp, it can lead to dandruff, while on the face, it often appears as red patches and flaky skin. It can also affect the eyebrows, ears, and chest. 3. **triggers:** certain factors can exacerbate seborrheic dermatitis, such as stress, cold or dry weather, oily skin, and hormonal changes. 4. **treatment:** treatment options vary depending on the severity of the condition. They may include medicated shampoos, creams, or ointments containing antifungal or anti-inflammatory ingredients. In some cases, prescription medications may be necessary. 5. **management:** in addition to medical treatment, managing seborrheic dermatitis involves gentle skin care practices. Avoiding harsh soaps, taking care when shampooing, and using a mild, fragrance-free moisturizer can help. 6. **chronic condition:** seborrheic dermatitis can be a chronic condition, meaning it may come and go over time. Managing symptoms and triggers is key to keeping it under control. If you suspect you have seborrheic dermatitis or are struggling to manage it, it's advisable to consult a dermatologist who can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend an appropriate treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Nightfall is commonly also known as wet dreams. The problem of nightfall is very common among men's in the mid age or adolescent age. The problem of wet dreams is characterized by the unknowingly and involuntarily ejaculation while asleep. Do not be tensed about this issue. It is normal at your age. It is not an illness but a natural phenomenon by which old sperms come out and make space for new sperms. New sperms are produced continuously in our body by pushing away the older ones. Frequent masturbation, watching pornography or such pictures, discussing sex or adult talks makes a person victim of the nightfall. Also, certain medicines or drugs such as sedatives, tranquilizers, and high bp medicines can lead to nocturnal emission. Apart from this the mental state of mind (stress, depression, anxiety etc.) and also no or less physical activity (obesity, long sitting hours, inactivity) of a person accounts for wet dreams. Treatment 1. The best way to stop this is, masturbation. Masturbation is also natural don’t think it as otherwise. 2. A proper diet can ensure strength that you might have lost due to nightfall. 3. Practicing yoga and meditation regularly before going to sleep can also help in getting rid of the emissions. Other ways to treat nightfall is using natural or homemade remedies. There are no side effects for such treatment methods. Yogurt - should have at least 2-3 bowls of yogurt a day. Avoid watching porn - too much of porn arouses you sexually. So it is advised not to watch porn. Bathing - it is advice to take bath before you go to bed. It helps you have a sound sleep. A sound sleep is very important for avoiding nightfall. Here are few myths about nightfall that every man should know: 1. Nightfall in men is wrong and abnormal: there is nothing wrong or abnormal about nightfall; it is a normal part of growing up and becomes rarer as a male grows up. Rare nightfall in men is not harmful and one need not feel guilty. Nightfall is just spontaneous tendency to empty the reservoir of sperms in adolescents. 2. Nightfall in men is a sign of illness: this is a myth that most people have; however it is a natural process that occurs in most men unless it occurs very frequently. Nightfall with high frequency can affect the sexual and mental health of the male 3. Nightfall can make you weak: one of the favorite myths about nightfall; actually nightfall occur when there is absence of sex or masturbation to release the sperms and it is a natural way to remove the excess sperms from the testicular sac. However having excessive and frequent nightfall can decrease the immunity of the person. Nightfall in men can lead to reduced sperm count: this applies to only increased and frequent nightfall in men; it is a popular feared myth and nightfall does not reduce sperm count. It is a natural body mechanism to throw out the overflowing content from testicular sac and induce the regular formation of healthy sperms. 4. Nightfall reduces male organ size: one of the popular myths about nightfall; nightfall does not shrink the male organ. The truth is that there is nothing that can increase or decrease the size of the male organ; also sexual health does not depend on the size of the male organ.
