I used Podowart on my face to treat a wart, and now I've ended up with a scar. I'm quite worried and not sure what to do next. How can I remove or treat this scar effectively? Could you suggest any solutions for this?

I'm dealing with a lot of hair fall and also have an anal fistula. My hair keeps falling no matter what I try, and the doctor said I need surgery for the fistula soon. What should I do about both issues?

To address both hair fall and an anal fistula, it's important to focus on reducing stress, managing the fistula with medical intervention, and addressing potential underlying causes of hair loss. For the fistula, the doctor's recommendation for surgery should be followed. For hair fall, explore potential causes like stress, fungal infections, or nutritional deficiencies, and consider seeking professional advice for appropriate treatment.

I've noticed a patch of dry skin on my right under thigh, but it's not itchy or causing any discomfort. Could you recommend an ointment for this?

Since there's no itch or discomfort, you can try the following over-the-counter (OTC) ointments: 1. *Moisturizing creams*: Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream, or CeraVe Moisturizing Cream. 2. *Hydrocortisone cream*: A mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone (0.5-1%) can help reduce inflammation and dryness. 3. *Urea-based creams*: Urea (10-20%) creams, such as Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream or Aquaphor Healing Ointment, can help lock in moisture. 4. *Vaseline*: Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) can provide a protective barrier and help retain moisture. Apply the ointment 2-3 times a day, or as needed. If the patch persists or worsens, consult a doctor or dermatologist for further guidance.
