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.

View allI've been using bio oil on my stretch marks for a few weeks now and I can slowly see results. I've got a question though. Is it okay to use bio oil on my face for massage? I've got acne-prone, sensitive combination skin. I'd love to massage my face once a week to boost blood flow and relax my muscles, but I'm worried about oils clogging my pores and causing more acne. I've heard from friends that bio oil helps with acne scars, so I'm curious if it's safe for facial use. If bio oil isn't suitable, could you recommend an appropriate oil for face massage? Would really appreciate your advice!
you can use it for your face also no problem it comes with essentials which help in nourishing your skin.

I'm seeing this hickey-like mark on my leg, and I'm a bit worried. It doesn't itch or feel raised, but it just kind of appears and disappears on its own. Could this be a sign of something else going on?
