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 starting this new treatment and it says to apply it at night. Should I be doing this every night? Also, how often do I need to shampoo my hair? I'm wondering if it's okay to just head to work the next day without washing my hair after applying it at night. Would love some advice on how to fit this into my routine!

I'm dealing with some dark spots on my face, and my dermatologist recommended glycolic acid for it. But now, every time I apply the cream, my face feels a bit itchy. Should I be worried and stop using it, or is that normal?

I've noticed that the skin on my testicles has started to get a bit darker lately. Every day, when I'm washing up, I rub the area and this black-colored skin-like stuff comes off. It's happening daily, and I'm not sure why it keeps accumulating there. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do?
