I've been dealing with a keloid issue, and it didn't start until I turned 26. They've mainly appeared on my chest and shoulders. I'm really curious about what's causing them and what I should be avoiding to prevent more from forming. Are there any precautions I can take? Also, I'm wondering if there's a permanent solution available. Can keloids be completely removed? Any advice would be appreciated.

Treatment may include corticosteroid injections, silicone gel sheets, cryotherapy, laser therapy, or surgical removal. However, it's important to note that keloids may recur even after treatment, so there is no guaranteed permanent solution. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to discuss the most suitable treatment option for your specific case.

I'm really concerned about my hair and nails. I've heard that taking vitamin E can help, but my nails are still brittle and my hair seems thin at the ends, even though I trim it regularly. Do you think vitamin E would actually improve these issues, or could there be something else going on?

My herpes report came back negative, which is great, but I'm a bit confused about something. My IgM level is 0.1 and my IgG level is 0.4, not at zero. What could these levels mean? Should I be concerned about these results even though the test is negative?
