Should I remove the bandages from my incisions for good?
Mine are closed I think since there is no red tissue or open wounds just some
scars
like you have when your wound is healing. I still keep them covered with waterproof bandages as i do not want to get them wet when showering.

After having a triple bypass 8 weeks ago I am looking for a suitable moisturiser to help my
scars
be less sore and tight. Has anyone got any suggestions or experience as to what is a good choice.

Scar healing
Hi had a double bypass 5 years ago but one of my
scars
from the drains has still not healed fully. Medical people dont seem worried but it is surely not right. Anyone else have the same issues.

Acne and life.
I’ve had horrible Acne since 15 Left awful deep
scars
Had people laugh comment and just bully me about it. I now have acne rosacea as well. It was on my back and neck too. I’m 75 this year and I was so grateful to wear face masks during covid. Too old to worry now but it still gets me down.

L-tyrosine causes sebaceous hyperplasia?
I take a hypothyroidm supliment that has L-tyrosine. Since I take it I got this acne called sabeceous hyperplasia all over my face and on my boob and under it. I read that L-tyrosine increases testosterone, which leads to PCOS (which I have) and sebaceous hyperplacia. Did anyone experience this? How

Bowel cramps?
I had a laparoscopy about 9 weeks ago. I had endometrioma's removed from my ovaries, lots of adhesions removed from right pelvic wall and endometriosis removed from surface of the bowel. I'm presuming it was excised but I won't know for sure until I see my consultant in two weeks. My question is, is

Abdominal burning pain
Do people suffer with burning pain, a bit like IBS pain, but more constant and burning anywhere across the abdomen. I am still awaiting tests to confirm PA, but I know I have a very high pH, so almost no stomach acid, which is obviously causing the pain. I eat a varied diet, not much in the way of processed

Hemosiderin staining?
Hi, Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve woken up today with rust like staining, mainly on my left hand with a little on my right. No logical cause from anything I’ve touched. Googling seems to suggest it is hemosiderin staining, though they are mainly US sites. This could make sense as I still

Just a touch away: CT-optimal touch perception and its influence on pain and itch
Psychologist Larissa Meijer has discovered that gentle caresses from a partner can provide relief from chronic pain. This treatment has no side effects and can be done at home. It should normally be free too 🙂 Meijer has demonstrated the effect of light stroking on pain and itchiness in Parkinson's
