Any of you struggle with Keloid scars? I've been to the derm multiple times and received Corticosteroid shots that flatten them out but the scars keep coming back. For context, I'm a POC and the scars are less than a couple of cms, but itch a lot when I workout and have caused skin discoloration around them. Also, can I apply vitamin C around the scars to treat the discoloration?

Curious to see if there are any natural ways to minimize their impacts.

I have keloids too but nothing has been successful! Also did corticosteroid shots (one per keloid) and it temporarily flattened them but they're still discolored. My derms have all cautioned that there's nothing in clinical lit to support them // that surgically removing them often only works temporarily. Would love to hear if anyone has had success getting rid of/mitigating them!

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

Anyone else have a need to exercise daily? A lot of people judge me in a negative way and in reality it is because my ADHD brain needs it. 1) the consistency for schedule 2) exercise can help tone down the symptoms before I sit down for the work day 3) it is the only thing I can control to make it look like I am not a mess (disorganization, interrupting) - basically trying to stay in the game at work based on perception of “having it together”. Just wondering if anyone faces the challenges.
