I've got these old keloid and hypertrophic scars and I'm wondering if using Contractubex and a silicone gel sheet will help flatten them out now. Do you think these treatments could work at this stage?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Contractubex gel and silicon gel sheets can help improve the appearance of old keloid and hypertrophic scars. Apply Contractubex gel thinly on the affected area 2-3 times a day and gently massage it in. For silicon gel sheets, cut the sheet to fit the scar, apply it to clean dry skin for at least 12 hours a day. Consistent use over a period of several months may help flatten and soften the scars.

View allI'm really worried because my face has gotten darker since I delivered my baby. The doctor once mentioned that it might be due to the folic acid tablets I was taking. But now it's been over three years, and my face keeps getting darker while the rest of my body remains the same as before I gave birth. There's such a noticeable difference between my face and body color, and it's really concerning me. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what I might be able to do about this?
Post delivery hyperpigmentation is very common and the treatment is a gradual process rather than overnight change. Use Sun protection like sunscreen with spf 30 or higher and avoid direct sunlight.Use skin lightening creams containing vitamin C , Niacinamide , Azelaic acid etc.There are so many different treatment options available like chemical peels, laser treatments etc.Consult a dermatologist and go through proper treatment while maintaining a healthy lifestyle you can get rid of this hyperpigmentation completely .

I'm really worried about my 13-year-old daughter's hair loss due to Lichen PlanoPilaris. The doctors at PGIMER diagnosed it after a biopsy, but we've been dealing with this for seven years now. I've heard about a medicine called REFOLLIUM that might help regrow her hair. Is it safe and effective for her condition?
