Hi looking for advice

[Fred]

1) the flakes of dry skin I often pick off is this the right or wrong thing to do, could this be why it's scaring?
2) any advice to remove or treat the scars
3) I was advices to use Johnsons shampoo and head and shoulders between my medicated shampoo, are there any other unmediated shampoos I can use
4) I currently use dovobet on my chest and back it does clear it but it comes back the next day and the doctor tells me there is no other ointment as I've tried everything, are there other creams ?

#1 It's not the best thing to do, but it shouldn't make it worse. And we all do it, and it can become addictive. I used to try and see how big I could get a flake off in one piece, and I still go to where I used to have them

#2 They are not scares as such, it's more the change in pigment colour. They can fade over time but there is nothing that will actually remove them, apart from getting the flakes down and then getting a nice sun tan.

#3 I can't help you there as I don't have much hair hopefuly someone else will! But for the moment try the search button in the menu bar.

#4 It's difficult to find the right thing that works. when you say you have tried all ointments, have you tried Dovonex? it's not so strong as Dovobet but I found it worked better for me. If you have tried all the creams and ointments then it's time to get yourself and appointment with a dermatologist, ask your doctor to refer you to one.

Hope that helps a bit, and hopefuly others will chip in.
