I've been dealing with keloid scars on my chest for the past 8 years and they're really bothering me. They don't look great and it's affecting my confidence. Can you recommend something to help with this?
One option is to use silicone gel sheets, such as Mepiform, applied directly to the keloid. Another option is to use corticosteroid injections, such as Kenalog, directly into the keloid to help reduce its size. In some cases, topical treatments like Mederma can also be beneficial. It is important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment plan for your specific situation.

I've been dealing with this seborrheic dermatitis for like five years now and it feels like I've tried almost every treatment out there. I'm starting to get really frustrated and I'm not sure what else to do. Is there something I might be missing or any other options I should consider?
In cases where conventional treatments have not been effective, a prescription medication like Ketoconazole shampoo (2%) can be helpful. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks, then once a week for maintenance. Additionally, a topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol propionate cream (0.05%) can be applied to affected areas twice daily for up to 2 weeks. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
