I've got these dark, lump-like scars from some leech bites I had a few months back. They're not itchy or anything, but I'm wondering what I can do to treat them. Any advice?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
I recommend using Mederma Advanced Scar Gel to help reduce the appearance of the dark scars caused by the leech bites. Apply a thin layer of Mederma Advanced Scar Gel on the affected area once daily. This can help improve the appearance of the scars over time.

View allI've been getting these little spots on my cheeks from pimples, and I'm not sure what the best ointment is to make them go away quickly. Also, I'm dealing with some whiteheads and would love to know if there's a good solution for both. Any advice?
For both pimple spots and whiteheads, using a combination of exfoliating acids (like salicylic acid or glycolic acid), anti-inflammatory ingredients (like niacinamide), and treatments for acne (like retinoids or benzoyl peroxide) can help significantly improve your skin over time. Always make sure to use sunscreen daily to protect your skin and prevent worsening of dark spots.

I'm taking R89 but my hair is still falling out. What should I do now? I'm really worried about this. Can you help me?
You can try adding minoxidil solution to your hair care routine. You can apply minoxidil 5% solution twice daily on the scalp to promote hair growth and reduce hair fall. Additionally, make sure to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals essential for hair health, and avoid excessive heat styling or harsh chemical treatments on your hair.

I'm dealing with a fungal infection and now my testis skin is really dry. I've been using Tyza 250mg, Livafin Cream, LCZ 5mg, and Momate Cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping much or maybe it's just too slow. Can you suggest an alternative cream for dry skin down there?
