I'm dealing with a keloid on my chest that has started to form pus, and it's really painful. Can you recommend any good antibacterial creams that might help with this?

Pus formation in a keloid can be a sign of infection, which requires prompt attention. While I can suggest some antibacterial creams, please consult a doctor or dermatologist for proper evaluation and guidance.

Antibacterial Creams

Neosporin: Contains neomycin and bacitracin, effective against a wide range of bacteria.

Is it possible to reduce breast size naturally through exercise or is surgery the only effective option I've heard mixed opinions about whether workouts actually help and I'm curious what the best approach would be for noticeable results

Workouts may reduce the appearance of breast fat, but only to a certain extent. There may not be any certain activities that can help you decrease your breast size, but regular exercise and a balanced diet will help you trim down your whole body. As a result, your breast fat will reduce.
