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'm a bit confused about a product I've been prescribed. It's called Konaz ZP, and I was told it should be used as a shampoo. But when I checked the label, it actually says it's a lotion. So now I'm unsure about how to properly use it. Could it be possible that there's a mix-up, or is this common? How should I go about using it as a shampoo, if it's labeled otherwise?

yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent
