I have keloids on my body and I'm really worried about them. Is there any way to treat them without surgery? Are there creams or other options that can help reduce them? Also, are these treatments easily available in India?

Yes, there are several ways to treat keloids without surgery, and many of these options are available in India. These include topical treatments like silicone gels and creams, corticosteroid injections, laser therapy, and in some cases, cryotherapy. While these methods can help improve the appearance and reduce symptoms like itching, they may not completely eliminate the keloid.

I've been using Skinlite for the last 4 years and I'm really worried about stopping it because I don't want my skin to darken. Plus, I'm noticing some damage to my skin. Could you suggest an alternative to Skinlite that won't cause any darkening or further harm?

Question

My test results showed that I have Staphylococcus Aureus after catching this rash while I was in India. It started on my feet and after about three weeks, the pus has stopped, and the lesions are closing up. But I'm worried because these large spots on my feet keep turning purple in just an hour. Is this normal, and should I be concerned? What can I do to help with the healing?
