I've got a couple of self-harm scars on my forearm and I'm wondering if there's any scar treatment that could help get rid of them. They've caused me a lot of trouble with people being suspicious and asking questions, and I'd really love to have them gone. What options might be available to me?

View allI've been struggling with some hair issues after a bad case of chicken pox back in 2016. About five months post-recovery, my hairline started receding, and my hair seemed to get thinner. By the next year, the temple area receded by an inch and my hair lost strength. I started taking dietary supplements six months ago as per my doctor's advice, and I'm noticing a slight improvement in thickness, but my temple hairline hasn't shown any progress. Can you shed some light on whether my temple hair will eventually grow back, and how long it might take for my hair follicles to recover after chicken pox?
Hair fall can be due to various reasons.Hormonal,genetics ,stress,scalp conditions etc.if your hair fall is excessive consult a dermatologist or a trichologist to get more tailored treatments for your needs.

I'm curious about the cost of getting a mucocele removed using laser treatment. Also, how much downtime should I expect afterwards?
Mucocele removal is a minor surgery. It requires only a few hours of post-operative rest until the anesthesia wears off. You can then be discharged. Cost of the surgery varies depending on the facility at which you have the procedure done.

I've been having some problems with my skin around the testis and thighs; it's really itchy and there's a lot of redness. It feels like there's a lot of heat coming from that area, and I've noticed some fungus too. I've been trying propygenta NF and using dreamsoap, but it just doesnt seem to help. Any suggestions on what I could do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection in the groin area. I recommend using a combination of Clotrimazole cream and Terbinafine cream twice daily for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take Tablet Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection effectively. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothes, and avoid sharing towels or clothing to prevent further spread of the infection.
