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.

I have loose skin under my arms and I'm not sure which specialist to see for this. Is surgery the only option to get rid of it or are there other treatments available?

Loose skin can be addressed by plastic surgeons. If mild, radiofrequency or ultrasound-based skin tightening helps. For moderate to severe cases, brachioplasty (skin removal surgery) is the solution.

I've been noticing a gap in my abdominal muscles after pregnancy and heard it might be diastasis recti. Which specialist should I see for this in India and are there any non-surgical treatments that actually work? I'm worried surgery might be the only option

Diastasis recti can be improved with physical therapy focusing on core strengthening; a physiotherapist or plastic surgeon can guide treatment.
