I've been dealing with acne and pimples on my arms and back for a few months now. A friend suggested using salicylix acid ointment, but it hasn't helped much. Any other remedies you'd recommend? I'm really looking for something effective because it's been bothering me quite a bit.

I've been struggling with a fungal infection for about a month now and have tried four different lotions like Ringguard, Itchguard, Clostargm, and Funzimx, but nothing seems to be working. Can you suggest what else I might do or use to finally get rid of this issue? I'm really unsure about what step to take next and would appreciate any advice.

I've got a keloid on my chest and I've been told to use Betadine solution and then nadoxin ointment on it. After I clean it up with the Betadine, should I just go ahead and put on the nadoxin right away? Or do I need to rinse it with warm water before applying the ointment?

You can apply the nadoxin ointment immediately after cleaning with Betadine solution. There is no need to clean it with warm water before applying the ointment. Just make sure to gently pat the area dry after cleaning with Betadine before applying the ointment.

I've been trying to grow thicker eyebrows for years using castor oil and olive oil but they don't seem to work at all I know genetics and hormones play a role but is there any non-surgical solution that actually helps

Castor/olive oil have minimal evidence; minoxidil-based serums or PRP therapy may offer better non-surgical eyebrow thickening.
