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'm really struggling with a stubborn fungal infection that's been bothering me for the last 4 months. I've tried using amorolfine, ketoconazole, and a cream with berconazole, but it just won't go away for good. Although the redness disappears a few days after applying the medication, it keeps coming back on my bump and buttocks about a week later. What can I do to finally get rid of these annoying red patches?
Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with a dandruff issue and my doctor initially recommended Topisal 6. However, when I went to the pharmacy, they didn't have it in stock, so they gave me Propysalic NF instead. I'm wondering if Propysalic NF works just as well as Topisal 6, or should I try to get back on Topisal 6? Would love to hear your thoughts on whether this switch might affect how effective it is for treating my dandruff.
Propysalic NF contains clobetasol propionate and salicylic acid, which are effective in treating dandruff. However, it may have a different potency compared to Topisal 6%, which contains clobetasol propionate only. Propysalic NF can be effective in treating dandruff, but if you are not seeing the desired results, you may consider switching back to Topisal 6% for better control of your dandruff. Follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions for optimal results.
