My hand got cut by a blade and now I have cut marks. I've tried using a mask to remove the marks for about 2 years, but it's not working. What can I do to get rid of these marks? Any advice would be really helpful!

My wife has this scar on her faceit's right above her left eyebrow. Sometimes she experiences this sharp pain like a needle prick, and there's even a small wound under the eyebrow. We were told by a doctor to use Tbact Ointment cream to help with the scar, but we're curious if there's any other treatment out there that could reduce the scar besides opting for plastic surgery.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm dealing with infections in my groin area, and the doctor suggested using t bac 2 ointment. Is it safe to use this on my penis as well? The skin there has turned dark, shrunk, and the foreskin is tight and not moving back easily. I'm a bit worried about this, could you advise?

It's important to follow your doctor's advice, as the T Bac 2% ointment is typically used for skin infections. Applying it on the penis should be done cautiously, especially if you're experiencing tightness and discoloration. If the skin is shrinking or becoming overly tight, I recommend consulting your doctor for a specific evaluation and tailored treatment plan.
