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'm really worried about my 13-year-old daughter's hair loss due to Lichen PlanoPilaris. The doctors at PGIMER diagnosed it after a biopsy, but we've been dealing with this for seven years now. I've heard about a medicine called REFOLLIUM that might help regrow her hair. Is it safe and effective for her condition?

I've been using Memopi HC for around 6 years, and it's helped improve my complexion quite a bit. But when I stop using it, my whole face turns red. I'm worried and curious to find out if there's anything else I can try, maybe something more natural, to help with my complexion? What could be causing this redness, and how can I manage it?

I'm experiencing some itching and have noticed small mole-like groups on my male organ. I tried using Tebina Plus in the past, but it doesn't seem to work for me anymore. Can you help me figure out what's going on and suggest what I should do next?

Sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection. I recommend trying a different antifungal medication called Lotrimin Ultra. Apply a thin layer of Lotrimin Ultra cream to the affected area twice a day for at least 2 weeks. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
