I'm really concerned about my friend who's had cut marks on his wrist and arms for quite some time. It's been years now, and with his wedding coming up, he's looking for ways to get rid of these marks. Could you suggest an ointment or any skin treatments that might help lessen these marks?

For older cut scars, suggest a silicone-based scar gel applied daily for several months to help reduce appearance. Microneedling or laser treatments with a dermatologist can also significantly improve the scars. consult a dermatologist for the best treatment plan based on his skin type.

I'm a sports person and a bodybuilder, and I've been dealing with puffy nipples for the past couple of years. It's making me really self-conscious, especially when wearing t-shirts. I'm worried it might be gynecomastia. I'm curious about what treatments are available. Are there any medications to help reduce this in men, or would surgery be necessary? Also, if surgery is needed, what might the cost be? I'm really hoping for some guidance here.
