How do I reduce keloid scars on my skin?

I have keloid scars on my upper chest and one on the side of my stomach. Both are raised and very pigmented. I am looking for topical (non-invasive) treatment options that would reduce the appearance of the scars. I would like to understand which combination of gels and creams would work best for my goals? E.g applying silicone cream gels and layering silicone gel sheets, then using bio oil etc.

Keloid scars are marks that are raised and dark because of the excessive collagen. These scars can be highly annoying for people. Utilization of silicone gel or sheets will assist in the flattening and bleaching of the scars. Besides, the application of bio-oil can be even more effective in enhancing the look. Hence, the most important thing is the time and patience to stick to the treatment to be able to see the effects of it.

I am 25years old, I have been battling with dark knuckles, in fact, the more I apply knuckles cream, the more it gets worse, so recently I thought of getting Gluthatione pills and start using them so my hands and legs can be uniform again. But I am afraid it might have side effects, please help me.....I will do anything you ask me to do at this moment.

Consult with your doctor before you start taking any new supplement. There are several options available if you are looking for natural ways to lighten dark knuckles. You can try exfoliating the affected area with a gentle scrub, apply lemon juice, or using a product that contains natural bleaching ingredients such as aloe vera, papaya, and turmeric.

Sir, I am 23 year old. I don't have beard. I barely have any hair under my chin. Please help me with my beard growth.

The dermatologist will first need your family history and trichoscopy examination for the evidence of vellus hairs. Then they might begin their treatment with minoxidil, micro-needling and Growth factor injections. If no improvement is seen however, then they will suggest hair transplant.

I am 18 years old female and I am suffering from cystic acne since past few years. I tried everything possible.. went to dermatologist but nothing worked.... What should I do now ?

Female | 18

Cystic acne at the age 0f 18 years indicates underlying hormonal cause like PCOS, insulin resistance etc. this can be evaluated by certain blood tests and scans. Please consult an experienced dermatologist for the same. Intra lesional triamcinolone injections, oral retinoids, oral contraceptive pills,  etc may be recommended once the cause is established by the Dermatologist. Proper dosing and adequate medication course is needed for satisfactory results in severe acne forms like cystic acne.

Few small bumps on penis

Male | 29

It can be due to a range of conditions such as Fordyce spots, pimples, or genital warts. It is advisable to visit a dermatologist or a urologist for basic check-op to make sure there is no serious condition. Do not self-diagnose or treat yourself at home, because it can only result in your aggravation of the situation.

Your skin’s red dots are psoriasis symptoms but you must seek a dermatologist for an appropriate diagnosis. Psoriasis is an autoimmune, chronic skin disease affecting the joints. A dermatologist may assess your symptoms and recommend suitable treatment measures.

I suddenly move Rajasthan here temprature 48° my full body back sunburn skin damage and full body itching and pimples redness please suggest me best cream and moisturizer for speedy recovery

Male | 26

This happens when the sun’s rays damage your skin; it makes it turn red and sometimes itch or even have bumps that look like pimples. A mild lotion containing aloe plus some moisturizer should be applied frequently to speed up treatment. For now, however, take much fluid since this will help speed up recovery too; rest in a cool place without being exposed again until things get better.

I use podophyllin on my penis and testicles its peel my skin hardly burning I used petroleum jelly but not cure

Male | 31

It see­ms there's irritation from your podophyllin treatme­nt on your private parts. The burning and pee­ling skin could indicate a reaction. Stop using it right away. Gently wash the­ area with cool water and mild soap. Put calming aloe ve­ra cream to soothe irritation.

I am getting lots of hair fall. Almost half of my hair falled during last 7-8 months

Female | 34

Since the hair loss seems rapid, you need to consult a Trichologist / Dermatologist in India on priority... To find out the exact cause of such rapid hair loss and based on the hair loss condition an appropriate treatment would be recommended.
