I recently got hit on the nose by a cricket ball and now there's a scar. I'm thinking about trying Mederma to help with it, but I'm worried about any potential side effects. Is it safe to use, and will it actually help with the scar?

I'm experiencing these small pus-filled bumps and redness near my thighs, and it's really concerning me. On top of that, I've been dealing with Keratosis pilaris from my back below the neck down to my waist and above my elbows for about 10 years now. My skin is very sensitive, and I just can't figure out why all this is happening. Could there be a connection between these two issues, and should I be doing something differently with my skincare routine?

I've been dealing with psoriasis for almost 15 years now and have tried numerous medications, but I haven't had any luck in clearing it up. I'm really wondering if there's any proper and permanent treatment out there for this condition. Could you share any insights or advice?

while there's no definitive "cure" for psoriasis, various treatments can help manage and control symptoms; consider consulting a dermatologist about advanced therapies like biologics (e.g., etanercept, adalimumab), apremilast, or JAK inhibitors, which have shown significant efficacy in achieving and maintaining clearance, especially for moderate-to-severe cases
