I'm looking for some advice on dealing with keloids. I've already tried the injections, but I haven't seen the results I was hoping for. Are there any scar removal creams that might help lighten the color of keloids? I'd really like to know if there's something that could work for me.

I've got this thing happening with my nipples where the skin turns dark brown or even black and gets really hard. It seems dry and cracked, and when I peel it off and use some cream or lotion, it gets better. But as soon as I stop using the cream, it goes back to how it was before. This has been happening for about two years now, and Im 19 years old. Do you have any idea what might be causing this and what I should do?

The dark brown or black, hard, dry, and cracked skin on the tip of your nipples may be a sign of nipple eczema, dermatitis, or hyperpigmentation, and to manage it, apply a fragrance-free moisturizer, avoid harsh soaps, and consider consulting a dermatologist

I'm curious if masturbating a lot could increase DHT levels in my body and lead to hair loss. I'm 16 and usually do it about three times a day. Is this something I should be worried about?

No it will not cause hair loss.
