I've noticed some cut marks on my wrist that have turned quite dark and are looking pretty bad. I'm really concerned and wondering if there's anything I can do to help reduce these scars or lighten them up. It's really affecting how I feel about my appearance. Can you offer any advice or treatments that might work?

For treating dark and unsightly scars on your wrist, you can use a silicone gel such as Dermatix Ultra. Apply a thin layer of the gel on the scar twice daily. Additionally, you can also consider using a scar lightening cream like Mederma. Apply the cream on the scar once daily. Remember to follow the instructions on the packaging for best results.

I'm struggling with hair loss and my PRP treatment doesn't seem to be working. It's really getting me down because I've spent a lot of money, and I'm still losing hair, especially at the front. I'm desperately looking for effective suggestions so I can regain my confidence. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Only prp will not work. You are suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts refeeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. This may also be accompanied by severe dandruff. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. consult dermatologist

I've been dealing with these painful, puss-filled boils under my arms that have a really bad smell. My doctor said they would go away with age, but it's been over 45 years and they keep coming and going. I shower twice a day and make sure not to shave, just trim, and I avoid using deodorants, opting for talc instead. I'm really getting frustrated and just want to know if there's anything else I can do or try?

I've been dealing with lipomas all over my body and tried homeopathy for two years without any improvement. Is there a permanent treatment option that doesn't involve surgery or side effects? Can you suggest what might work for me?
