I've been dealing with a keloid issue, and it didn't start until I turned 26. They've mainly appeared on my chest and shoulders. I'm really curious about what's causing them and what I should be avoiding to prevent more from forming. Are there any precautions I can take? Also, I'm wondering if there's a permanent solution available. Can keloids be completely removed? Any advice would be appreciated.

Treatment may include corticosteroid injections, silicone gel sheets, cryotherapy, laser therapy, or surgical removal. However, it's important to note that keloids may recur even after treatment, so there is no guaranteed permanent solution. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to discuss the most suitable treatment option for your specific case.

Question

I've been using Tugain 5 solution for almost 10 months now, and it's really helped with my hair loss and even encouraged some new growth. But recently, my scalp has become incredibly itchy, almost unbearable, and there's some dandruff forming too. The irritation is so intense I'm considering stopping the treatment altogether, but I'm worried about going back to losing hair. What can I do to soothe this itchy scalp and keep using Tugain without these problems cropping up?

Question

I'm really worried about my hair and how it might be affected by my habits. I started masturbating when I was 13 and I do it quite often, sometimes even three times a day. I've noticed my hairline is starting to recede on the sides, and I'm also experiencing a bit of back pain. I'm eager to stop this behavior and I'm wondering if it's possible for my hair to grow back. Can you help me understand what's going on and how I might address it?

Question

I've been using clindamycin phosphate gel for a couple of weeks, and it seemed to be working because my skin was clearing up. I decided to stop the medication, but now I'm suddenly getting small acne spots all over my face. Could this be an allergic reaction or something else? What should I do?
