Topical Creams
- Silicone-based creams: Creams containing silicone can help flatten and soften raised scars.
- Hydroquinone creams: Creams with hydroquinone can help reduce hyperpigmentation associated with scarring.
It's essential to consult a dermatologist before starting any treatment. They will assess the scar and recommend the best course of treatment.

I've been dealing with some hair fall issues and saw a doctor who recommended Kz lotion and Recute hair oil. While the hair fall has reduced, I'm not really seeing any new hair growth. My hair still feels pretty weak. I've heard about using egg masks for hairare they actually good? Also, are there any foods that can help with hair growth? I'm really hoping to get my hair strong and thick. Any suggestions?
Minoxidil is known to stimulate hair growth and improve hair thickness. You can apply it to the scalp twice daily. Additionally, you can continue using the Kz lotion and Recute hair oil as prescribed by your doctor. Egg mask can be beneficial for hair as it is rich in proteins and nutrients that can nourish the hair follicles.
