I've been dealing with acne for the past couple of years and it's been really frustrating. I've been using involym tablets and some creams, but I still have all these red pimples and scars. It's like nothing's really working. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should maybe try next?

I was admitted to the hospital for a bedsore about 10 days ago and was given antibiotics. The heel is healing slowly but some parts still don't seem fully healed. The doctors initially mentioned plastic surgery but later said it should get better on its own. Should I keep taking the antibiotics or switch to betadine ointment now? The wound looks better but not completely closed.

Kindly consult plastic surgeon Sacral bed sore It will take time to heal May require surgery antibiotic and regular dressings Kindly keep the area clean Use air mattress Keep changing the posture of patient

I'm really concerned about this baldness issue I'm experiencing. The front of my head has lost a lot of hair, and it looks quite bald now. A few months ago, I only noticed it when I applied oil, but now it's visible all the time, and my hair's gotten thinner. Can you recommend a permanent solution for this? Also, is there a difference between hair transplantation and PRP therapy, or are they the same? Which one would be the best and safest option? I could really use some guidance here since I'm quite worried about losing more hair.

I'm worried because I applied chuna powder on my mole, and now it's healing. How long will it take to heal completely? Will there be any scars? Can you recommend any ointments I can get in India to speed up the healing process?

It is important to keep the area clean and protected while it heals. You can apply Silverex cream twice a day to help with the healing process and reduce the risk of scarring. Make sure to consult a doctor if you notice any signs of infection or if the mole does not heal properly.
