I had an accident a few days ago and ended up with some wounds on my right hand. The skin right before my elbow is peeled off. I've been using megaheal ointment on it, but I'm really not sure if that's the right choice. Could you recommend if I should continue with this or suggest a different ointment? I'm a bit uncertain about what's best for healing my injury.

I've cut myself on my stomach with a compass and now it's been about 5 or 6 days, but the pain just keeps getting worse. I don't want to tell anyone 'cause I'm the one who did it. Is there anything I can do to make the pain less intense, and do you know how long it'll take for the scars to go away?

I'm wondering how many sessions it would take for me to achieve an even skin tone, as my face is a bit darker than my neck. Also, could you give me a rough idea of how much one injection would cost?

To achieve an even skin tone, the number of sessions required can vary depending on individual skin types and concerns. Typically, 4-6 sessions of chemical peels or laser treatment, spaced 2-4 weeks apart, may be needed to attain desired results. As for the cost, it's difficult to provide an exact estimate without knowing the specific treatment and location, but on average, a session can range from 1,500 to 5,000 or more. It's best to consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance and pricing.

I've been dealing with hair loss since 2015 and had been using minoxidil 5% for over a year. I stopped using it about 6 months ago but started again a month ago and I think the shedding phase is done. I saw a trichologist who recommended Xfolia hair gain serum and hairgain pills since I'm in a type 3 pattern. Have you heard of this Xfolia stuff? How long does it usually take to see results with this kind of treatment, because I couldn't find any info about it online?
