I've been dealing with a keloid on my chest that developed after some acne, and despite getting tricort 40mg injections 11 times, I'm not seeing any improvement. I'm feeling pretty stuck and unsure about what to do next. Any suggestions or advice would be really helpful.

Since the tricort injections have not been effective in reducing the keloid, you may consider trying silicone gel sheets such as Mepiform or ScarAway. Apply the silicone gel sheets over the keloid for several hours a day to help flatten and soften the scar tissue. Additionally, you can ask your doctor about intralesional injections of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or verapamil, which have shown some success in reducing keloids.

View allI've noticed these blood blister-like spots on my scrotum for about 23 months now. Some of them are kinda hard, while others are softer. They arent bleeding, but I'm really worried because its embarrassing, especially socially. At first, there were only two or three, but now there are over 20. Im feeling anxious about it and its affecting my confidence. Is there any way to get rid of them, and is it something serious?
It is important to consult with a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.

I'm dealing with an itching issue on my lower back that's been going on for about 2 months now, and I've also noticed some rashes in that area. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing this and what I can do to alleviate it. Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a skin condition such as contact dermatitis or eczema. I recommend using a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm a bit worried about taking Evion 400 capsules. I've got combination skin and I'm concerned it might make my skin oilier. Could that happen?
yes
