My wife has a scar on her left eyebrow that sometimes causes sharp, injection-like pain and a small wound underneath. A doctor suggested using Tbact Ointment, but we're wondering if there are other treatments to reduce the scar without plastic surgery. What options are available for scar reduction that don't involve surgery?

Scar-related pain near the eyebrow can be treated with ointments like Mederma or silicone gel sheets; plastic surgery isn't always required unless cosmetic correction is desired.

Hey, I've noticed my mom has these greenish patches on the upper parts of her thighs, and I'm really worried about what they might be. Can you tell me what could be causing this and how we might be able to treat it?

Greenish patches on the skin could be a sign of a fungal infection such as tinea versicolor. I recommend using an antifungal medication like Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, she can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks to help clear up the infection. It's also important to keep the affected area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.
