I have a keloid on my chest but I've never had any injuries or surgery there. Is it normal to develop one without any trauma? It doesn't hurt but I'm not sure if it's fully cured or if it could get worse over time

Yes, it's possible to develop a keloid without a clear history of injury or surgery. Keloids are a type of scar tissue that can form spontaneously, especially on the chest, shoulders, and ears. While they often occur after skin trauma, they can sometimes develop without an apparent cause

View allI've been dealing with allergic eruptions ever since I was a kid. Recently, I found out I have psoriasis and eczema on my joints like my ankles, elbows, and knees. My IgE levels are pretty high at 1700. I regularly take Allegra 120 and Montair LC which help a bit, but nothing seems to truly work. I'm in a tough spot and dont know what to do. Can you offer any advice on how to manage or reduce these issues? I've tried both homeopathy and allopathy, but no luck so far.
For the management of Psoriasis and eczema with allergic eruptions, in addition to your current antihistamines, I recommend adding a topical corticosteroid cream like Betnovate to reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas once or twice daily. Also, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil to keep the skin hydrated. Furthermore, you can consider taking an immunosuppressant medication like Methotrexate under the guidance of a dermatologist to help control the autoimmune response causing Psoriasis. This should be taken once a week in a prescribed dosage. It's important to continue with regular follow-ups with your dermatologist to monitor your condition and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

I'm currently undergoing PRP treatment and I'm wondering if it's safe to use Minoxidil at the same time. Can you shed some light on this for me?
Yes, you can use Minoxidil during PRP treatment for hair loss. Minoxidil is a common medication used to promote hair growth and can be used in conjunction with PRP therapy. The usual dosage for Minoxidil is applying 1ml of solution to the affected area twice daily.

I'm a bit worried because I've been noticing some fungal infection around my penis and thighs. It's kind of like a dad type rash. I've heard about Medisalic and Fungicros cream, do you think they would work for this kind of genital fungi?
If you use medisalic or fungicross, it will cause serious and permanent damage to the skin. You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like medisalic, fungicross, panderm, quadriderm, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams
