I've got really dry skin, and I've noticed tanning on my forehead that's turned into these dark ridges. And now I'm starting to get these small pimples popping up there too. What could be going on with my skin? How can I treat this?

View allI'm really curious about whether creams like ketoconazole and klindex can help with pimple scars. I do my best to maintain good hygiene and I just have a few scars. Could you tell me if these creams might harm my skin? Or is there another cream that might reduce spots without causing any damage?

While they might help reduce inflammation and prevent future breakouts, their effectiveness in reducing pimple scars is limitedBetter Alternatives for Reducing Pimple Scars 1.

I'm 25 and have been dealing with heavy hair fall recently. It's getting to the point where the front upper center of my scalp is pretty visible and it's making me really worried. My hair is thinning, feels weak, and the density is just so low now. What can I do to stop this hair fall quickly? What steps should I consider taking to address this?
For superficial hypertrophic scars, you can try using Contractubex gel. Apply a thin layer of Contractubex gel on the affected area 2-3 times a day for at least 3 months for optimal results. Make sure to gently massage the gel into the scar. Additionally, you can also consider silicone gel sheets which have been shown to be effective in reducing hypertrophic scars.

I'm dealing with some lumps popping up in my pubic area. They aren't too bad and seem like they've got pus in them. They come and go, but one got pretty bad and burst. I kept it clean and bandaged for a couple of weeks, and it went away. Now I've got two more, and it seems like they show up when there's pressure from my belt. I'm trying to wear my belt as little as possible, but I'm unsure how to stop these from appearing. Any advice on preventing this would be appreciated!
