I'm trying to figure out which scar gel works best in the shortest amount of time. I've come across Mederma scar gel and Scae end silicone gel. Could you please recommend which one might be more effective for quicker results? I'm really looking for something that works fast.

I recommend using Mederma scar gel. Apply a thin layer of Mederma gel on the scar 3-4 times a day for at least 8 weeks to see improvement.

Question

I got the chickenpox virus back in 2016, and since then, I've been using Dermadew Lite soap. I'm kind of worried about whether it's okay to use it every day. I'm just curious if using it regularly is safe or if there are any side effects I should know about. It only seems to be available at pharmacies, so it feels like a medicated soap. Could you give me some advice on whether I should keep using it or not?

Question

I'm noticing a small spot on my hand that's kind of a light pink or white color, definitely lighter than my skin. It's about 12mm and it's the only one I have on my whole body. I'm really curious if this could be vitiligo. Could that be possible?

Question

I'm really struggling with jock itch and it's been a nightmare for the past 23 years. I've seen countless doctors, and they've all told me to use creams like Panderm, Dermikem, or to take Fluconazole tablets. They seem to work while I'm using them, but as soon as I stop, the problem comes roaring back. The skin on my inner thighs gets super thin and crazy itchy. These creams help temporarily, but the symptoms always come back. On top of this, I've gained some weight, and my face looks puffy and swollen. I'm also noticing stretch marks on my shoulders and knees, and I just feel tired and weak all the time. I'm really in a tough spot here. What can I do to finally get rid of this? Its becoming unbearable.
