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.

I'm thinking about using Fevi Quick to attach fake nails and I'm wondering if it's safe to do so. Since nails are essentially made of dead cells, could this cause any harm to my real nails? I'm curious if there are any side effects I should be aware of, or if it's something I could just try once without worrying too much.

I'm really concerned because I got diagnosed with typhoid back in January and thankfully I recovered in about 10 days. But ever since, I've been experiencing this really intense hair fall. It's starting to worry me a lot. Can you recommend any medication or treatments that could help reduce the hair fall and maybe also improve my overall hair health?
