I have some cut marks on my hand and they're really bothering me. How can I get rid of them? Also, what's the cost for surgery to remove these marks? I'm feeling pretty upset about how they look and would like to know my options as soon as possible.

For older scars like yours, besides laser treatment, you can consider using topical silicone gel sheets or silicone gel. These can help improve the appearance of the scar over time. Make sure to apply them as directed by the manufacturer.

I'm noticing these red, itchy spots in the creases of both my elbows. It's making me worried. Do you know what could be causing this and what I can do to treat it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis. To treat this, you can use a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% applied twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil or Eucerin to keep the skin hydrated and prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist, you may need to see a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I've got this lump that started out small and wasn't really painful, but I tried using hot fermentation on it. Now, after a month, its turned red, and it's quite painful and much bigger. The skin is hard, and it's making it difficult for me to walk. Hot water seems to help with the pain a bit, but it makes the skin even redder. Can you suggest what kind of doctor I should see about this?

Why is Pantene the worst shampoo?

Any shampoo containing harsh ingredients such as parabens, sulphates and silicone are bad for hair. You should check for the ingredients before selecting a shampoo. Pantene also has sulphate free varieties.
