I'm a bit concerned after using permethrin cream to treat my scabies. The itching all over my body has stopped, but now the skin on my penis is really dry and flaky, and it's causing cuts. I had scabies on my scrotum and penis too. Is this a normal reaction to the treatment, or should I be worried?

I recently had a PET CT Scan with FDG and Contrast, and I've noticed red itchy rashes all over my body the next day. Could this be an allergic reaction to the nuclear medicine or contrast used for the scan? Any advice on how to treat these rashes would be really appreciated. I had the scan two days ago.

For superficial hypertrophic scars, you can try using Contractubex gel. Apply a thin layer of Contractubex gel on the affected area 2-3 times a day for at least 3 months for optimal results. Make sure to gently massage the gel into the scar. Additionally, you can also consider silicone gel sheets which have been shown to be effective in reducing hypertrophic scars.
