I've been dealing with this pus-filled scar that turned into a keloid about a year ago. Its really painful, and Ive seen multiple doctors, but nothing seems to work. I came across some info about injection shots for this kind of thing. Do you offer those treatments? And are there any side effects I should know about?

I've been dealing with hairfall for a while and I've been relying on Keraglo Eva for the past seven years. Before that, I took Keraglo Forte. The thing is, if I stop using them even for just a couple of weeks, my hair starts falling out at a crazy rate. I'm concerned about potential side effects and I'm really hoping to find another solution. Do you think switching to homeopathy might help?

I'm experiencing a really bad burning sensation on my hands after cutting ginger and chillis, and it's been going on for about three hours now. I've tried some home remedies like using milk, but nothing seems to work. I even tried ValerateN cream and took a pain killer, but the pain is still unbearable. Do you have any suggestions on what I could do to relieve this?

I'm currently on homeopathy treatment, but it's not working out for me. I tried allopathy treatment before too, but my pimples just won't go away. I'm feeling really scared and disappointed about this whole situation. What should I do? Can you help?

I understand your concern about your persistent pimples despite trying homeopathic and allopathic treatments. In such cases, you can consider using a topical retinoid cream such as Adapalene (e.g. Differin) at night. Additionally, you can use a benzoyl peroxide gel (e.g. Benzac AC) in the morning. Make sure to apply sunscreen during the day while using these products. If your pimples are severe, you may also benefit from oral antibiotics like Doxycycline. It's important to use these medications as directed by a healthcare professional and to be patient as it may take a few weeks to see improvement.
