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.

Your body has keloid forming tendency,if you attempt to remove one new one would come up,if it is cosmetically bothering you, you can go for one more course of treatment.

View allI've got these rashes around my private area that were starting to feel better when I was using candid B powder, but now there's this painful lump that's just popped up recently. I'm worried and trying to figure out what might be causing this and what kind of treatment would help. Any ideas?
The lump around your private area could be a result of a skin infection, possibly an abscess or swollen lymph node. I recommend seeing a doctor for an examination, as they might prescribe antibiotics or drain the lump if necessary. In the meantime, avoid tight clothing and keep the area clean.

I've been on isotretinoin for a few months, and I'm in my 5th month now. My doctor upped my dose to 20 mg twice daily 'cause it wasn't working much initially. But now, after about 45 days, my hair's gotten thinner, and when I was checking out some videos on isotretinoin's side effects, someone mentioned it could cause erectile dysfunction. Since hearing that, I've started experiencing it too, and it's been happening for the past 5 days. Its stressing me out and affecting my mood. I havent told my doctor about the erection issue, but my dose got cut back to just 20 mg a day. Besides that, I'm also dealing with a stomach ache, digestion issues, testicular discomfort, and dryness in my throat, eyes, and lips. Im super confused and anxious about continuing isotretinoin. Could it really be the cause? What should I do? Your guidance could really help me out.
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I have a red rash all over my back and shoulders. They're super itchy and some are pretty painful. I've been trying Dermi Cool powder, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Can you help me out with this?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
