Question 1

I'm really worried because my toddler son accidentally scratched my face with his nails, and now there's a scar that's left a black mark. The new skin has already started to come in, but the mark is still there. Could you recommend an ointment or anything I can do to help it fade?

Accepted Answer

You can apply Mederma ointment on the scar to help reduce its appearance. Apply a thin layer of Mederma gel on the scar twice a day and gently massage it into the skin. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for best results.

Question 2

I'm struggling with a persistent fungal infection on my skin. I'm using NuforceGM cream but the itching just won't go away. It looks like a ring with red spots. I've been dealing with this for quite a while. What do you think would help?

Accepted Answer

It seems like the fungal infection is not responding well to the current treatment. I recommend trying a combination antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra cream. Apply it twice a day on the affected area for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection from within. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing to help with the healing process.

Question 3

I've got this heat bump on my left buttock that's been around for about six days now. It's getting bigger and it's really painful. Also, I've been having a fever. Could you suggest any creams or medication for it? And are there certain foods I should avoid? Should I stick with regular soap for cleaning it, or is there a special soap I should be using instead?

Accepted Answer

Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm curious about something I've heard for my husband's hair. Someone mentioned using Morr F5 for hair regrowth, and I'm wondering if it could also help reduce hair fall. Is it mainly just for hair growth, or does it help with both?

Continue same treatment.
