I'm noticing a keloid on my chest, but I haven't had any injuries or surgeries before. It doesn't hurt, but I'm curious if it's something that's considered healed or if it's something I should be concerned about. Could you give me some insight into this?

I'm a 22-year-old female and I've been dealing with thinning hair for the past 2 to 3 years. My scalp is becoming more visible, and just recently, I noticed my frontal hairline seems to be receding. I also happen to be obese and often use heat styling on my hair. I'm really concerned and curious to know if there's a way I can get my hair back to its former state. What can I do to recover my hair?

I've been struggling with itching all over my body for the past 3 years and nothing seems to help. I've tried avil, citrezine, and dexona injections, and even allerga, but no relief. I noticed that my lymphocyte count is pretty high at 55.8. What could be causing this?

Persistent whole-body itching for 3 years, despite trying various medications, suggests an underlying condition that needs further investigation; high lymphocyte count (55.8%) may indicate an allergic reaction, infection, or immune system disorder; consider consulting a dermatologist
