I have a pyogenic granuloma on my scalp and I've attached a picture. Just wondering if it's harmful to leave it as it is or if it could be something serious like cancer. Also, are there any treatments I can try at home since I'm really nervous about surgery?

A pyogenic granuloma is a noncancerous growth of blood vessels on the skin, and it's generally harmless. While it's not a serious condition like cancer, it can be treated by a doctor, and leaving it unattended may lead to bleeding, ulceration, or cosmetic concerns. Home treatments are generally not recommended, and surgical removal is the most common treatment.

I'm really worried about these red, itchy, dry scars on my face that appeared after I cried a lot the other day. It's like wherever my tears rolled down, now it's all irritated and then it turned dark and still itchy. What can I do to get rid of this?
Gently cleanse and moisturize your skin to keep it hydrated and help the healing process. Use soothing ingredients like aloe vera, and apply sunscreen daily to prevent further pigmentation issues. If the rash persists, consider using a hydrocortisone cream for a short period to reduce inflammation. Be patient, as it may take time for the dark spots to fade. With proper care, the irritation and pigmentation should heal, but if things dont improve or worsen, a consultation with a dermatologist would be helpful.
