I've been dealing with keloids on my chest for over 5 years. I went the allopathic route and my doctor used Cryotherapy plus steroid injections directly on them, which seemed to shrink them a bit. I also tried silicon gel sheets for a year. But now it's frustrating because I have 57 keloids in the same spot again, and the treatments only seemed to make a temporary difference. Is there any permanent solution for keloids that doesnt involve more steroid injections? Just wondering if allopathic medicine offers a clear treatment for keloids.

I've been struggling with really bad dandruff for a long time. I've seen multiple dermatologists, but every time I stop the treatment, it comes back within weeks. Is there any permanent fix for this, like a surgery or something? I'm tired of dealing with it over and over again.

While a permanent cure for dandruff is elusive, it's possible to effectively manage and control it with consistent treatment and lifestyle adjustments. There's no known surgical solution for dandruff, as it's a condition of the skin, not a structural issue. Instead, focus on managing the underlying causes and symptoms
