Question

I've got some blade cut marks on my hands that have been there for about 3 months now. I'm really hoping to get rid of these scars but I'm wondering if there's an alternative to laser treatment. Any advice on what else might work?

For older scars like yours, besides laser treatment, you can consider using topical silicone gel sheets or silicone gel. These can help improve the appearance of the scar over time. Make sure to apply them as directed by the manufacturer. Additionally, you can also try using vitamin E oil or creams containing onion extract to help reduce the visibility of the scar. Remember to keep the area well moisturized and protected from the sun to aid in the healing process.

Question

I've been having this issue for the past six months where I notice some white patches on the glans of my penis, which come off easily after washing. Theres also a small red spot inside the foreskin with some light itching. I got a VDRL test done and it came back negative. I've been using zoster ointment, but I'm a bit worried. Whenever I have physical relations, sometimes the glans gets a bit red, and the foreskin seems to shrink and tighten. Should I be concerned about this, and is there anything else I should be doing or looking into?

Question

I've been noticing that every time I put oil on my hair, I end up with a headache and this heavy feeling in my head. I'm starting to wonder if I should just stop using oil altogether. Do you have any idea why this is happening or any suggestions on what I should do?

Question

I've been using a clindamycin gel and isotretinoin tablet for my acne and scars for about 12 days now, but my skin seems to be getting oilier and I'm not seeing much improvement. In fact, I feel like my acne is more noticeable. Do you think I should stop using them, or is this normal and I should give it more time?
