Question

I'm dealing with a dressing issue and could really use some advice. I have a wound dressing made using cotton dipped in povidone iodine solution, and it's stuck pretty firmly to the wound. It's been tough trying to remove it without causing any harm or pain. Do you have any suggestions on how I can safely take it off? I'm really worried about this and want to make sure I don't aggravate my wound further.

Question

I'm really worried because I tried using a mix of grated garlic, castor oil, and turmeric on my acne overnight, but I ended up burning my skin. I saw a dermatologist and she gave me a cream that helped peel the burnt skin off, but now there's a dark black spot that's been there for almost a month. She suggested using golite cream for it, but I'm not seeing any improvements. I need to get rid of this scar urgently since my brother's wedding is in the first week of June. Can you suggest anything that might work quickly?

Question

I'm thinking about taking Antoxid HC twice a day because I've got a big function coming up on December 29th and I'm really hoping to clear up my skin. But I'm a bit worried about any possible side effects. Can you tell me if it's safe to go ahead with this plan?

Question

I'm dealing with this superficial hypertrophic scar that just isn't going away. I tried using Hexilak Ultra Gel for the last 5 months, but it hasn't completely removed it. Any suggestions or advice on what I should do next?
