I've had this scar on my left arm for about 4 years now from a cut, and I'm really hoping to either get rid of it or at least make it less noticeable or flatten it. What do you recommend for situations like this?

I have some cut marks on my hand and they're really bothering me. How can I get rid of them? Also, what's the cost for surgery to remove these marks? I'm feeling pretty upset about how they look and would like to know my options as soon as possible.

For older scars like yours, besides laser treatment, you can consider using topical silicone gel sheets or silicone gel. These can help improve the appearance of the scar over time. Make sure to apply them as directed by the manufacturer.

I'm dealing with this ring guard on my skin, and it's starting to spread to the lower part of my body. I'm really worried about it. Here are some pictures. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

You may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with the healing process. If the infection does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
