I have these stubborn stitch marks on my face and they're really bothering me. What's the best way to get rid of them completely? Would laser treatment or surgery work better, or should I try cosmetic creams or gels first? Any recommendations for specific products that might help?

To minimize the appearance of stitch marks on the face, a combination of topical treatments, professional interventions, and good skincare practices can be helpful. While surgical scar revision or laser treatments may offer more significant results, starting with topical creams and gels is a good first step.

View allSo, I'm a 32-year-old guy and a couple of days ago, my finger got pinched in a door. It was just a tiny part of the skin, so I didn't pay much attention at the time. But then yesterday, I noticed this black spot on that same part of my finger, like under the skin. Do you think it could be a blood clot or is there something else going on here?
Yes, it is smashed finger and black spot caused by blood clot. It will be absorbed with time.

I had laser surgery for two keloids on my shoulders back in 2009, but after the procedure, they grew five times bigger. Now they keep getting larger and cause a sharp, pricking pain. I've tried cortisone injections for over a year and silicone gel sheets, but nothing's helped. Are there any other proven treatments to stop the growth and ease the pain?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I've been dealing with seborrheic dermatitis for a while now, and I'm getting really frustrated. A year ago, my doctor suggested azithromycin, and it worked initially, but the condition came back after a week. I tried azithromycin again for another five days, but it didn't help at all this time. So, I saw another doctor who recommended doxycycline with vitamin C for a week. It seemed to get better, but then it flared up again just two days after I finished the meds. It's been really annoying trying these antibiotics without long-term relief. What do you think I should do next? Could there be something else going on?
Seborrheic dermatitis can be challenging to treat, especially if it keeps recurring despite multiple courses of antibiotics. Since azithromycin and doxycycline have not provided long-lasting relief for you, I recommend trying a different approach. You can ask your doctor about using ketoconazole shampoo for your scalp and affected areas. Apply it twice a week for 4 weeks. In addition, you can use a topical corticosteroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected skin once daily for 2 weeks. This combination can help manage the symptoms and reduce the recurrence of seborrheic dermatitis.
