I'm just curious about Skine shine cream. I've been using it and honestly, the results seem pretty good. But I'm a bit worried about any side effects it might have. Is it safe to keep using, or should I be careful about something?

View allI'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 recently had a minor accident and got some scratches on my feet where the skin peeled off. I went to the hospital to get it dressed and, a couple of days later, began using this Megaheal Ointment. But now I'm noticing that the ointment forms this layer over my wound, almost like gum. I'm curious and a bit concerned because the wound seems like it's still wet. Every time I apply more ointment, it keeps forming this thick layer. Should I be cleaning off the old layer before putting on new ointment, or is it okay to just keep adding it on top? I'm wondering if this layer is actually helping my wound to heal or if I should be doing something differently. I'm also a bit worried about the pain I might feel if I have to peel off that thick layer from the ointment. Am I doing the right thing for healing, or is there something I should change?
You're using Megaheal Ointment correctly, as it forms a protective barrier, promoting a moist environment for wound healing; to manage the thick layer, gently clean the wound with saline water or a mild soap solution before reapplying the ointment, rather than peeling off the layer, which can be painful and disrupt the healing process.

I've been really struggling with some skin issues lately. My skin's been getting super oily, and I also have a sun tan that's not going away. On top of that, I'm losing hair, which is really concerning me. I've been taking Eslo 5 regularly. Could this possibly be affecting my hair and skin? I'm just trying to figure out what's going on and how I can fix it. Any advice would be appreciated!
Skin getting oily, sun tan, and hair fall can be due to various reasons. To address the oily skin, you can use a topical medication containing Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel once daily at night. For sun tan, you can use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, apply it 20 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply every 2-3 hours. To manage hair fall, you can take Biotin supplements 10,000 mcg once daily. Since you are already taking Eslo 5, which contains Amlodipine for blood pressure management, it is important to continue it as prescribed by your doctor.
