I've noticed that my skin has started to smell really strongly like something burning, and it's not just meother people can smell it too. It started off kind of mild, but now the smell is getting stronger. I'm really curious about what this could be. Do you have any ideas on what might be causing this?

Hey, so I've been having this issue where my skin gets all red and there's this burning feeling whenever I use Sofradex cream. Ive been using it for some skin problems, but these side effects are really uncomfortable. I'm 27 and just wondering if there's something else I can use that won't do this to my skin. Any ideas?

Stop the medication, u can use clopivate cream for local application for 7 days, any side-effects dermat opinion is advised to the patient.

My wife has a neck TB scar just above her collarbone on the left side, and it's really affecting her emotionally. She's feeling pretty down about how it looks. Would a scar removal cream like Mederma or No Marks work, or should we consider laser treatment or plastic surgery? I've attached a photo of the scar for reference. What would be the best option for her?

This scar would respond best to surgery. Mederman or nomarks will not help at all
