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've been dealing with these ringworms on my inner thighs, and they're really starting to bother me. They've been itching a lot, but since I started using itch guard a couple of days ago, that's gotten a bit better. But I'm worried because the skin's getting darker, and the ringworms seem to be spreading. Could you help me figure out what to do about this?

I'm dealing with the beginning stages of hair loss and my crown's getting more noticeable. I've had some serious dandruff and itching on my scalp too, and I tried this keraglo ad shampoo that worked wonders, but it made my hair super dry for a good 34 days. I saw a dermatologist at DHI, and they said I should take keraglo. But then I checked with another dermatologist who recommended using topical minoxidil with finasteride. From what I've read online, this combo seems to show good results pretty quickly, but the effects fade if you stop using them, and they aren't really supplements for deficiencies. I'm wondering if its okay to keep using keraglo or becosules while I'm on this combo. Could there be side effects if I use keraglo men with them? And is keraglo Ad shampoo safe to use over a long period?

keraglo tablet is advised, u can continue shampoo also.
