I've been dealing with some pretty bad acne, and it got worse when I accidentally rubbed it too hard, turning into an infected pus. My doctor suggested I use T bact for it, but I'm really worried about the scars it might leave behind. What can I do to help with the scarring?

View allI've been taking BTN ultra tablets to help control my grey hair since my doctor first recommended them back in 2016. I used them pretty regularly at that time, and then again on and off in 2017 and 2018, and I didn't notice any negative effects. My doctor mentioned that if I want to continue using these tablets, it's best to do it randomly, like using them for a couple of weeks and then taking a break. So, I'm wondering if its safe to keep using BTN ultra in this random way in the future. Also, is there any risk of side effects from using biotin mineral tablets long-term, even if its not continuous? I'd really appreciate your guidance on this!

I'm concerned about my skin. I recently used Mometasone for a few days to treat the red color I get from PLE, and while it helped, I feel like my skin has become thinner. I only applied it at night for a week. Now, whenever I travel or go outdoors, the redness comes back. How can I make my skin thicker again?

I'm dealing with these keloid scars on my chest and shoulders, and they're really itchy and quite large. I'm looking for a treatment that doesn't involve surgery or steroid injections because my uncle had some unexpected results with those. It seems to run in the family since my grandfather, father, and uncle all have them too. Any advice on other treatment options that might work for me?
Keloid scars can be challenging to treat, especially if surgery or steroid injections have not been effective in the past. One option to consider is using silicone gel sheets, which have been shown to help flatten and soften keloid scars. You can try using Mepiform silicone gel sheets, applying them to the affected areas for at least 12 hours a day for several months to see improvement. Additionally, using pressure therapy with products like Jobskin pressure garments can also help reduce the size and thickness of keloid scars. It's important to be consistent with these treatments and be patient, as results may take time to show.
