Yes, there are several ways to treat keloids without surgery, and many of these options are available in India. These include topical treatments like silicone gels and creams, corticosteroid injections, laser therapy, and in some cases, cryotherapy. While these methods can help improve the appearance and reduce symptoms like itching, they may not completely eliminate the keloid.

I've been using Zole F for my scrotal dermatitis for a couple of days now, and I'm starting to worry because I've been sweating a lot where I applied it. The skin around that area has gotten darker, and now the top layer is peeling. Is this something I should be concerned about? Does it sound normal to you?

I'm dealing with this skin issue I'm not sure how to explain it entirelyits something called "KaratMarathi" I think? I don't know what the English term for this disease is, but its like the blood freezes in a small circular area about the size of a coin. Its got a noticeable point and its showing up between my legs, like right below the private parts. Do you have any advice on what this might be or how I could treat it? I'm in the USA right now, so any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Dermat opinion is advised to the patient.
