I've got a keloid scar behind my ears from a surgery I had. I'm really hoping to find a cream that can help get rid of it. Could you suggest a specific cream or treatment that could work for my keloid scars?

I'm currently using Androfol, Follihair, and Coverit Minoxidil to help with my hair loss, but I've noticed there's been no improvement over the past two months. I'm considering starting Finabald 1mg but I'm concerned about potential side effects. Would starting Finabald be a good idea, and are there any risks I should be aware of?

I'm a bit worried about my left hand. My fingers have become really cracked and dry, to the point where they burn and bleed, and it only happens during the winter months. The weird thing is, it's just my left hand and not my right. I've used eczema lotion, and it helps a bit if I slather it on before bed, but my fingertips end up feeling like a cat's paw pad, almost like I don't have fingerprints. I do have mild psoriasis on my scalp and back, so I'm wondering if this could be related or something else entirely. Since it started last year around this time, and now it's happening again, I'd love some insight into what might be going on. Any ideas?

You may be experiencing a condition known as hand eczema, which can be exacerbated by psoriasis. To help with the dryness, cracking, and discomfort, I recommend using a prescription-strength corticosteroid cream like Clobetasol (0.05%) twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil Restoraderm lotion multiple times a day to keep your skin hydrated. Make sure to protect your hands from harsh chemicals and wear gloves when doing any tasks that involve getting your hands wet. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with some really slow-healing wounds from a minor bike accident recently. I hurt my fingers, palm, and knee trying to save a dog on the road. I've already taken a tetanus shot and completed a 5-day course of amoxicillin. I've also been dressing my wounds with betadine solution and now switched to using soframycin under the bandages. But it seems like the wounds arent healing as quickly as I'd hoped. Any advice on what I might be doing wrong or any suggestions to speed up the healing process?

If the wounds are not infected you can try placentrex of megaheal for a faster result and consume protien rich diet
