I've been dealing with this pus-filled scar that turned into a keloid about a year ago. Its really painful, and Ive seen multiple doctors, but nothing seems to work. I came across some info about injection shots for this kind of thing. Do you offer those treatments? And are there any side effects I should know about?

I've been dealing with jock itch for almost four months now and it's been driving me crazy. I've tried all sorts of meds that doctors have prescribed, like itraconazole, terbinafine, and fluconazole, but nothing's really worked. Any advice on what I should do next? Feel like I'm running out of options here.

I'm really worried after using Faiza cream for 3 months. It did clear up my pimples and dark marks, and my skin looks so much fairer, which was great at first. But then I read online that it might have side effects like skin cancer, and now I'm freaking out. I'm thinking about stopping the cream, but I'm scared if that might cause any problems. Can you help me figure out what to do?
