I'm dealing with a skin infection, and my doctor prescribed me Cutisoft and Peroclin. I'm a bit confused because he didn't specify if I should be using Peroclin 2.5 or Peroclin 5. How can I find out which one to use?

To clarify the prescription, I recommend calling your doctor's office or sending a message to confirm whether the prescribed Peroclin is 2.5% or 5%; alternatively, you can also check the prescription label or packaging, if available, or schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure you're using the correct medication and dosage.

I had laser surgery for two keloids on my shoulders back in 2009, but after the procedure, they grew five times bigger. Now they keep getting larger and cause a sharp, pricking pain. I've tried cortisone injections for over a year and silicone gel sheets, but nothing's helped. Are there any other proven treatments to stop the growth and ease the pain?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
