I've been having some issues with cuts in my skin where my thighs meet the groin area. I've tried using powder to keep it dry, and it helps a little, but the cuts are still there. What else can I do to heal these cuts, and why aren't they going away completely? Is there something specific I should be concerned about?

I'm a bit confused about something. My doctor prescribed Keraglo Black tablets for premature greying, but I can't find them at any of the local pharmacies. I've been looking online and came across Kerablak tablets, which seem to be for the same issue. Are these two medications actually the same thing, or are there differences I should be aware of? Would it be okay to take Kerablak as a substitute?

Yes both are same you can use either and is used for premature greying of hair
