I've recently noticed that I've got this scar on my buttocks that's turned into a round shape. It's been super itchy, especially at night, and I've also seen white flakes of skin peeling off. The skin's also got darker, and the whole area seems to be growing. I've tried using itch guard and onabet, but things aren't getting better. What might be causing this, and what should I do next?

Is it really worth it, and what are the upsides and downsides of doing it? Also, do you know of any reputable clinics where I could get a hair transplant done?

I'm worried about this piece of glass that got embedded in my left palm near my thumb about a week ago. It's not deep, I think, and there's no pain, just this annoying sensation when I press on it. I'm wondering if it'll come out on its own. Is it possible to take it out myself with a small cut using a clean razor blade? Also, does our skin naturally push out foreign objects over time as it heals from the inside? Would love some guidance on this.
