I have keloids on my body and I'm really worried about them. Is there any way to treat them without surgery? Are there creams or other options that can help reduce them? Also, are these treatments easily available in India?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've always had dry lips, even though I try to stay hydrated. My skin keeps peeling off, and now my lips have turned dark. I'm really looking for a way to fix this permanently. What can I do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing chronic dryness and peeling of your lips. To help improve the condition of your lips, I recommend using a lip balm containing ingredients like beeswax, shea butter, and vitamin E. You can try using Burt's Bees Lip Balm regularly throughout the day to keep your lips moisturized. Additionally, you can apply a thin layer of Aquaphor Healing Ointment before bedtime to help repair and hydrate your lips overnight. Remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day to maintain hydration from within.

Which oil is best for hair growth?
Peppermint oil with any carrier oil like castor oil,almond oil,Argan oil promotes hair growth by increasing scalp circulation. Also, frequency of oiling the hair must be individualised according to your hair/ scalp type. Persons with oily or greasy hair/ scalp must avoid frequent oil application to hair while persons with dry hair may safely use oil for mosturizing the scalp.
