I'm wondering how I can get rid of the blade cut marks on my arm. Is plastic surgery the only option, and if so, what might this treatment cost approximately?

To get rid of blade cut marks on your arm, you can consider using topical silicone gel sheets such as Strataderm. Apply a thin layer over the scar twice daily for at least 60-90 days for best results. Additionally, you can use Mederma cream which contains onion extract and allantoin to help improve the appearance of scars. It is important to apply these products consistently for several months to see noticeable improvement. If the scars are deep and extensive, you may consider consulting a dermatologist for other treatment options such as laser therapy or steroid injections. However, the cost of plastic surgery or other treatments can vary depending on the severity of the scars, the type of procedure needed, and the location of the clinic.

View allI've been having this horrible itching that started in my hands, feet, and vaginal area about a week ago. I took levocetirizine for four days, and though it seemed to help a bit, the itching came back around day three. Now its spread to my upper back and chest. It's really uncomfortable and bothering me a lot. Could you please guide me on what might be happening and what I can do to relieve this itching?
Since you have already taken levocetirizine without much relief, I recommend trying a different antihistamine such as Fexofenadine (Allegra) or Hydroxyzine (Avil). Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion containing Calamine to the itchy areas for relief. If the itching persists, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've got this wart near my left eye, and I was told that it might be wise to consider having it surgically removed with local anesthesia. It's preventative, in case it turns malignant in the future, but right now, it's not causing any trouble. Do you think it's a good idea to go ahead with the surgery? Since it's so close to my eye, is there any risk of nerve damage, or any other complications I should be aware of? Could it come back?
Yes its always better to get it removed,follow your doctors advice

I accidentally pulled out a tiny broken piece from my toenail and now there's some light redness and swelling on the side of my right toenail. I've been soaking my feet in warm water as a warm compress, but Im wondering if its okay to use Soframycin as an ointment to help with this. Does that sound like a good idea, or should I be doing something else?
Candid ceam is advised for local application, for 2-3 weeks and rest continue same treatment.
