I've been dealing with some psychological issues recently and ended up with several blade cuts on my leg. Things are better now, but the cuts left a lot of marks. The scars aren't too deep since the blades only grazed the outer layer, but multiple cuts caused quite a noticeable scar. I'm looking for some advice on which ointment might help peel off dead skin and promote fresh skin growth. My skin's become extremely dry around those marks too. Could you suggest something that might help me with this issue?

I'm a 25-year-old male, 5'10, 76 kg, with no allergies, medications, injuries, or surgeries. I'm concerned about my facial hair growth it's patchy and not filling in the way I'd like. Who should I see to figure out why this is happening and if there are ways to improve it?

This concern may need a clinical evaluation and, if needed, an ultrasound or other tests. Treatment depends on symptoms and severity—some cases improve with lifestyle changes or medication, while others may need further intervention. Regular checkups and a healthy diet are key.

My wife got PRP treatment a few days ago, and now her forehead's really swollen. Is this something we should be worried about? It's been three days since the procedure, and we just want to know if this kind of swelling is normal.

Can you give some details like for what was the platelet rich plasma therapy done on your wife? Swlling at the site of injection, pain, soreness etc are common and they usually subside on its own. But swelling on forehead is not a side effect.

I've been waxing my face and ended up taking off some skin on both of my cheeks. I've been applying aloe vera gel to help it heal, but it's actually getting worse. What else can I do to fix this?

I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin. Apply a thin layer on the affected areas on your cheeks twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid picking at it to prevent infection.
