I'm curious about getting rid of some old blade cut marks I've had on my arm for almost 8 years now. What's the best way to treat them, and what kind of cost should I expect?

To remove old blade cut marks on your arm, you can consider undergoing laser therapy. Laser therapy can help reduce the appearance of scars by promoting collagen production and skin regeneration. One commonly used medication for this purpose is Mederma, which is a topical gel containing onion extract. It is recommended to apply Mederma on the scar twice daily for at least 3 months to see visible results. Additionally, silicone gel sheets like ScarAway can also be used to flatten and fade the scars. As for the cost, the price of laser therapy sessions can vary depending on the size and severity of the scars, as well as the number of sessions required.

View allI'm really worried because I've had these dry rashes on my palms and feet for about a year and a half now. My doctor prescribed Halovate F, but it seems like it's just making things worse. Should I continue using it or maybe consider some other treatment options? What could these rashes mean? Any advice would be appreciated!
Dry rashes on your palms and feet for such a long duration can be quite bothersome. Halovate F contains the active ingredients Halobetasol and Fusidic Acid, which are used to reduce inflammation and treat skin infections. However, if you are experiencing an increase in symptoms despite using this medication, it may be necessary to consider alternative treatments. I recommend discussing with your doctor about trying a different medication such as Clobetasol propionate cream, which is a potent corticosteroid that can help reduce inflammation and itching associated with skin conditions. The usual dosage is to apply a thin layer to the affected areas once or twice daily. Additionally, it is important to keep your skin well moisturized by using emollients or moisturizers regularly. Avoiding triggers such as harsh soaps, excessive hand washing, or irritants can also help in managing your symptoms. If the rashes persist or worsen, further evaluation by a dermatologist may be necessary to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.

I'm having some trouble with my skin, specifically because of frozen chicken. Back in my home country, I never had any issues with eating chicken, but here, whenever I eat the frozen chicken, I get these acne breakouts on my face. They're painful and usually leave these black marks after they heal. I've noticed that when I eat fresh chicken from the market, my skin seems fine. I can try to avoid the frozen chicken, but I'm worried because there are still some face bumps that have been around for days, and I also have some old black scars. What can I do about these leftover marks and bumps?

My wife has this scar on her faceit's right above her left eyebrow. Sometimes she experiences this sharp pain like a needle prick, and there's even a small wound under the eyebrow. We were told by a doctor to use Tbact Ointment cream to help with the scar, but we're curious if there's any other treatment out there that could reduce the scar besides opting for plastic surgery.
