Question

I have two keloids on my chest and I'm really worried about them. Can they be treated with medicines or would I need surgery? I've heard mixed things and I'm not sure what the best option is. Are there any risks with either treatment?

Keloids can be treated with both medicines and surgery, and the best option depends on the size, location, and individual characteristics of the keloid.corticosteroid injections or creams, along with silicone gel sheets or dressings, are often used to reduce keloid size and improve appearance. Surgery might be an option, but it comes with a risk of recurrence.

Question

I'm a bit unsure about which to use for my woundshould I go with soframycin or cipladine powder? I usually clean the wound with hot water and Dettol, then let it dry before applying the powder. But when I clean it again the next day, it's kind of tricky. The wound is still wet, and there's some fluid coming out. Would using soframycin be a better option in this case?

I've recently had a keratin treatment done on my hair, and now I'm dealing with some dandruff issues. I'm considering using Ketomac anti-dandruff shampoo, but I'm worried. Is it safe to use this shampoo on my keratin-treated hair, or could it potentially affect the treatment?

Question

I've been dealing with perioral dermatitis and using Desowen lotion has been really helpful. However, I recently found out I'm pregnant and read somewhere that it's not safe anymore. Are there any non-steroid alternatives to this lotion that I could use during pregnancy? I'm a bit concerned and would love some advice.
