Hey, I've got these scars on my buttocks from boils that were treated with mupirocin ointment, but the scars just won't go away. Do you have any advice on how I can get rid of them?

To help reduce scars from boils on your buttocks, you can try using a silicone gel or vitamin E oil, which promotes healing. Gently massage the area and be patient, as scar healing takes time. If the scars persist, consult a dermatologist for further treatment options.

I started losing my hair after having COVID and it seemed to settle for a bit, but now its back and even worse. My doctor told me to use 1 ml of minoxidil twice a day and also suggested using 1 ml of a racine pro hair serum, which also contains minoxidil, once a day. I'm a bit worrieddoes using these together make sense? Is it safe to have the extra minoxidil from the serum too?

I've been dealing with dead skin on my penis foreskin for about a year now. There's a lot of itching and scratching in that area, and it's really uncomfortable. I've seen a skin specialist four times, and each time they've given me a different treatment. I've used Castellani's paint and AF 400 mg, then Daktar gel with AF 400 mg, and more recently, normal saline and Onabet for 15 days. But nothing's working, and I'm really worried. What do you think I should do next?
Since the previous treatments have not shown improvement, I recommend trying a combination of Clotrimazole cream (such as Canesten) twice daily on the affected area and taking Fluconazole 150 mg once a week for 4 weeks. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding irritants can also help in managing the condition.
