I've got this rough patch of skin on my forearm. It kinda looks like a hickey but it doesn't itch or hurt. It's been there for about a month. Should I be worried about it, or is it something I can just ignore? What could this be?

View allI've been dealing with a keloid on my chest that developed after some acne, and despite getting tricort 40mg injections 11 times, I'm not seeing any improvement. I'm feeling pretty stuck and unsure about what to do next. Any suggestions or advice would be really helpful.
Since the tricort injections have not been effective in reducing the keloid, you may consider trying silicone gel sheets such as Mepiform or ScarAway. Apply the silicone gel sheets over the keloid for several hours a day to help flatten and soften the scar tissue. Additionally, you can ask your doctor about intralesional injections of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or verapamil, which have shown some success in reducing keloids.

use it as prescribed by your doctor apply gently over the affected area and this needs to be used untill the lesion subsides, visit dermatologist for regular follow up

I'm really worried about my wife. She's been dealing with this condition, HS, for over two years now. We thought surgery might help; she had it done three months ago on her armpits and groin area. But sadly, the problem's come back, and she's still in a lot of pain. I understand it's a chronic condition, but it's really affecting her quality of life, and even simple daily tasks are a struggle. I'm desperate to find a doctor who's experienced with these cases and can help with her recovery and pain management. Do you know anyone who specializes in this?
