I've been dealing with keloid scars on my chest and shoulder that keep getting bigger and itch a lot. It seems to run in my family since my grandfather, father, and uncle all had them too. My uncle tried steroid injections and surgery but had bad results are there other treatment options that might work better for me?

Keloids are a challenging type of scar that can persist and grow larger, often causing discomfort. While steroid injections and surgery can be used, they may not always be effective or may have side effects. Here's a look at alternative treatment options that may be more suitable for your case

Question

I'm really worried about my hair constantly falling out. Are there any treatments out there that can actually help me stop my hair loss and maybe even get some of it back?

I'm worried because I've been taking terbest for five days now, but I'm not feeling any better. This infection is close to my eyes and the same kind of infection is happening near my neck and under my leg. Could this spread to my eyes, and is there anything else I should be doing?
