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 been dealing with genital warts for about a year now and have tried various treatments including seeing a doctor and using home remedies like garlic and ginger. I keep removing them, but they come back after a few weeks or months. Is this something Ill have to deal with permanently? Could the warts spread to other parts of my body?
Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be persistent. While there is no permanent cure for HPV, there are treatments available to manage the symptoms. One effective medication for genital warts is "Aldara cream," which contains imiquimod. You can apply a thin layer of Aldara cream on the warts before bedtime, three times a week for up to 16 weeks. This can help reduce the size and spread of the warts. It is important to note that genital warts can spread to other parts of the body through skin-to-skin contact, so it is essential to take precautions to prevent transmission. Additionally, practicing safe sex and maintaining good hygiene can help reduce the risk of spreading the virus. If you have concerns about the spread of warts on your body, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been using an antifungal cream for a while, and it seemed to be helping, but once I stopped using it, the itching started at the same spot again. Why does this keep happening? Is it normal for the itching to come back after stopping the cream? What should I do next?
