I'm dealing with this superficial hypertrophic scar that just isn't going away. I tried using Hexilak Ultra Gel for the last 5 months, but it hasn't completely removed it. Any suggestions or advice on what I should do next?

For superficial hypertrophic scars, you can try using Contractubex gel. Apply a thin layer of Contractubex gel on the affected area 2-3 times a day for at least 3 months for optimal results. Make sure to gently massage the gel into the scar. Additionally, you can also consider silicone gel sheets which have been shown to be effective in reducing hypertrophic scars.

I've been dealing with some really frustrating skin issues. There are these rashes and stretch marks around my groin area, and the itching is just unbearable at times. I tried using Cosvate GM for a bit, but after I read some stuff about it, I stopped. Now I'm using an antifungal powder, but it doesn't seem to work for long, and it feels like its not a permanent fix. What do you suggest I do about this?
