I'm noticing that the skin on my fingertips is suddenly getting thicker and kind of dry. Its happening on both my hand and foot fingers. I used to have really soft fingertips before, so I'm a bit concerned about this change. The skin is so thick that I actually have to shape them. I generally have oily skin, so this is quite new for me. What could be causing this?

I'm dealing with some itchy and flaky skin, and I'm really worried it might spread further. Could it be something serious? Also, I'm not diabetic, and though I have high blood pressure, it's well-managed. Any advice on what this might be or how to treat it?

It sounds like you might be dealing with a skin condition like eczema or seborrheic dermatitis, which can cause itching and flakiness. Since you have high blood pressure, it's important to use gentle, non-irritating treatments. If it worsens or spreads, I'd recommend seeing a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm really worried about some stitches I recently had removed from my face after an accident. The marks left behind by the stitches have been bothering me, and I just want to know if there's a way to get rid of those marks so my skin looks like it did before. Also, I'm trying to grow a beard, but I'm not sure if it'll grow over the area where the stitches were. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

use mederma on affected area for a long rum of 3months minimun for visible results
