I've recently had stitches on my face, and I'm really wondering about how to get rid of the marks they left behind. Do you think using mupimet cream could be effective for this?

View allI'm really struggling with this skin disease I've had for years. I've attached a photo so you can see what's going on. Could you help me figure out a solution?
I see that you are suffering from a skin disease. Based on the photograph you have attached, it appears to be psoriasis. I recommend using topical corticosteroids such as Clobetasol propionate cream twice daily on the affected areas. In addition, you can also use coal tar preparations like Tegrin cream or ointment. For severe cases, you may need oral medications like Methotrexate or Acitretin. However, these should be taken under the guidance of a dermatologist. Please consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

Is it alright to put on aloe vera gel before applying sunscreen? I'm worried if it might cause my skin to darken or have some other effect. Any advice on this?
Wearing aloe vera gel before applying sunscreen is generally okay, as aloe vera has soothing and moisturizing properties that can help calm the skin; however, some aloe vera products may contain aloin, a compound that can increase skin sensitivity to the sun, potentially leading to darkening or discoloration, so choose an aloin-free aloe vera gel and apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 afterwards to ensure adequate protection.

Can I wash my hair daily with water only?
Yes, there is no harm in washing hair daily with plain treated water but prefer cold water. You need to check for excess chlorine or bleach in water which may cause dryness and split ends on repeated exposure.
