There are several options available for scar removal, including topical treatments, laser therapy, and surgical procedures. One commonly used topical treatment is Mederma, which can help improve the appearance of scars. For laser therapy, you can consider using Fraxel or PicoSure lasers to help reduce the visibility of the scar. In some cases, surgical procedures such as scar revision surgery may be recommended by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best treatment option for your specific scar.

I'm really struggling with a case of jock itch that's making my life pretty uncomfortable. It's all red and scaly and the itching is driving me nuts. I've tried so many over-the-counter options like Quadriderm and Triben Plus, but they only seem to work for a bit before the itch comes right back. Even the home remedies I've tried don't seem to help. What can I do to finally get rid of this?

I've tried all sorts of meds that doctors have prescribed, like itraconazole, terbinafine, and fluconazole, but nothing's really worked. Any advice on what I should do next? Feel like I'm running out of options here.

I'm really worried about my husband. His private area keeps itching all the time and when he scratches, it gets red and painful. The doctor gave him a soap and cream, and when he uses the cream, it doesn't itch. But as soon as he stops using it, the itching comes back. Were really looking for a permanent solution. What should we do?

For any medicine to show effect it should be used properly as per the doctor's instructions.So have patience and use it to its full extent.Even then if you didn't see any change then ask your doctor for oral medication
