I'm dealing with an infected sebaceous cyst, and I've noticed it's about the size of a 20p coin. I've been using Bactroban for about 5 days now, and I'm seeing slow progress, if any, with it. Before I knew what it was, I was using sea salt, and it seemed to work a bit better. I'm wondering if it's okay to use both the Bactroban and sea salt at the same time. I think the salt helps dry it out, but I'm concerned it might interfere with how the Bactroban works. What do you think?

View allI'm really concerned about how long it usually takes for an ear piercing to heal completely. My daughter had hers done, and it doesn't seem to be healing like it should. We're still noticing a bit of blood when we take out the earring. Is there any gel or remedy that could help speed up the healing process after a piercing?
try using alovergel and consult your doctor

I've had a stitch mark on my right chin since a childhood accident when I was three. Now at 25, I'm really curious about the best treatment options to finally get rid of it. What would you recommend? Are there any treatments that work well for old stitch marks like mine?
The stitch marks on your right chin have been a reminder of the childhood accident. Treatment Options for Stitch Marks 1. Topical Treatments: Topical creams or gels containing silicone, retinoids, or vitamin E can help improve the appearance of stitch marks. 2. Chemical Peels: A series of chemical peels can help remove the top layers of the skin, reducing the appearance of stitch marks. 3. Microdermabrasion: This non-invasive exfoliating treatment can help improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of stitch marks. 4. Laser Skin Resurfacing: Laser treatments, such as fractional CO2 lasers or pulsed dye lasers, can help stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of stitch marks. 5. Surgical Scar Revision: In some cases, surgical scar revision may be necessary to remove the stitch marks. This involves surgically removing the scar tissue and re-closing the wound. Consult a Professional It's essential to consult a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon to determine the best course of treatment for your stitch marks. They will assess the scar tissue, skin type, and other factors to recommend a personalized treatment plan.

I'm really curious about platelet rich plasma. Does it actually work for bald spots? Is there any chance that it could help with hair regrowth? And if I decide to go for it, do you think my hair fall will stop, or will I still need to rely on medications? Also, I'm a bit worried about the cost. Can you give me some guidance on that?
