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'm dealing with a stubborn fungal infection on my butt that's been bothering me for a few months now. I did see a doctor, and they gave me some cream and powder to use, which seemed to clear things up at first. But now, instead of that round, rash-like infection, I've developed bubble or pimple-like fungal bumps. Any idea what might be happening or how I should handle this? I'm really hoping to find a way to get rid of it for good.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a different type of fungal infection after treating the initial round. For the bubble or pimple-like fungal infection, you can try using Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole 150mg tablet once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

I'm noticing that the skin around my inner thighs has darkened and it's gotten really itchy. The area is super dry, and when I scratch it, the skin starts shedding. It's quite uncomfortable. Do you know what might be causing this or how I can treat it?

I recently found out I'm HSV1 IgG positive, and I have some concerns. I read that 3.7 billion people are infected with HSV1 according to WHO. I'm not currently taking any medicine for herpes, but I'm wondering if I should start some kind of treatment. Could you give me some advice on whether treatment is necessary or any possible next steps? I'm really looking for guidance here.
