Question

I've been dealing with some lingering issues after a bike accident about six months ago. The left side of my face was injured and it has been swollen ever since. The swelling hasn't gone down and there are still some light marks, plus the skin feels really thin around that area. I'm getting a bit worried and am wondering how I might treat this. Any advice on what steps I should take might be helpful.

To address the lingering facial swelling and scarring from your bike accident six months ago, consider consulting a plastic surgeon for personalized advice, and in the meantime, try using topical treatments like silicone gel or sheeting, vitamin E oil, or aloe vera to promote skin healing and reduce scarring, and also massage the affected area gently to improve circulation and break down scar tissu

Question

I'm a 31-year-old who's been dealing with some skin issues, and I'd love some insight. A few weeks ago, I started experiencing itching around my penile area and scrotum, especially on my thighs. The skin there turned darker and dry, with white patches appearing because I couldn't stop scratching. I tried using CandidB cream regularly, and it helped initially, but then I noticed a bump on my foreskin, which disappeared after applying the cream. Now, Ive cut down the CandidB to about three times a week, but my main concern is that my foreskin is super dry, slightly inflamed, and seems really thin. This just started a day ago, after having sex with my wife. I've tried using coconut oil and even Vico turmeric, but it hasn't improved. I'm also diabetic, which might be a factor. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and what I should do next?

Question

I'm dealing with a hair fall issue, and my doctor suggested using Diprovate Plus. The problem is, I've forgotten exactly how I'm supposed to use it. Should I be applying it directly to the scalp? I'm really unsure and a bit concerned about using it wrong. Could you guide me on this?

Question

Is it safe to use minoxidil 5 for hair thinning? I'm worried about any possible side effects. Also, I've noticed some grey hairs in my beard. What do you suggest?
