Problem: Article: If other treatments don't work, you can try corticosteroid injections, if your doctor approves them. For them to work, you'll need to receive injections once or twice a month until your scar heals. Corticosteroids can reduce the size of your scars by lowering inflammation, decreasing the amount of collagen in the scars, and limiting fibroblasts. However, they can cause pain and side effects, so your doctor will likely want you to try other treatments first. Your doctor may administer a pain treatment, such as lidocaine, at the same time as your injection. You may experience side effects, such as skin hypopigmentation, skin atrophy, subcutaneous fat atrophy, and spider veins. Bleomycin is an off-label treatment for hypertrophic scars that can be very effective. In addition to improving the look of scars, it may improve the pain or discomfort that some patients feel. Your doctor can determine if it's the right option for you. You may experience some side effects from bleomycin, such as skin hyperpigmentation and dermal atrophy around the administration site. Compression garments can help improve more widespread hypertrophic scars in some patients, most likely by limiting the development of the collagen that causes the scars. However, they're not effective for all patients. Your doctor can determine if they're right for you. You may be prescribed compression garments if you've had a deep dermal wound or have received a skin graft. The doctor may also prescribe a compression garment if your skin is dark. Compression garments are only recommended for parts of the body where the garments can be safely applied, such as on your limbs. Compression garments are most often used for patients who've experienced burns. Massage therapy is a non-intrusive method that can help heal hypertrophic scars. Use moisturizing lotions or creams on the affected area to help relieve it. If you want to heal or remove hypertrophic scars, consider a surgical option to manage the tissue. Talk to your doctor to see if surgery is right for you. Cryosurgery uses intense cold to remove unwanted tissue. Radiotherapy uses radiation to control or kill the skin cells. Laser therapy uses a low-level laser to promote tissue regeneration. Surgery is usually only recommended if your scar is near a joint, such as your elbow or knee. In most cases, the doctor will need to apply skin grafts to the area affected by the scar in order for it to heal. Your doctor will decide if surgery is the best option for you. If your scar does not limit your movement, it will most likely heal better without surgery.
Summary: Get corticosteroid injections if topical treatments aren't effective. Undergo bleomycin treatment as an alternative for corticosteroids. Use compression garments under your doctor's supervision. Try massage therapy. Consult with your doctor about using cryosurgery, radiotherapy, or laser treatment. Consider surgery only if the scar limits your ability to move.

Problem: Article: Boho Chic is all about layers, and accessories are an important part of this. Bracelets are a must-have for the Boho Chic style. Thin silver bangles and colorful, woven Mexican bracelets are amongst the most popular types. For a creative twist, you could also wear wooden bangles. You can wear bracelets on your ankles (i.e. anklets) too! Thin, dangly silver ones are nice. You can also wear bracelets (also known as armbands) on your upper arms: braided and metal armbands are popular. Boho Chic earrings are dangly and often combine metal and natural stones. They can also include feathers and leather. As with everything that is Boho Chic, seek out natural shades and materials. Boho Chic necklaces range in lengths, but what they're composed of is generally the same: natural materials and colors. Leather, metals, stones, shells, fringe, cottons and wools are common materials. (These are also common materials for earrings and bracelets.) Ethnic-inspired pieces are particularly popular. Fedoras and floppy, wide-brimmed hats are popular in Boho Chic, as are crocheted caps. Floppy, wide-brimmed hats in neutral tones are often paired with long dresses, or with flowy tops and short shorts. Floral headbands were hugely popular in summer 2015. Other types of head pieces that are popular include braided headbands and chain tiaras. Tying scarves or bandanas around your hair or wearing them as headbands is also popular. Colorfully patterned handbags as well as handbags with fringe and tassels are popular Boho Chic choices. As with everything Boho Chic, aim for natural fabrics and shades. Big sunglasses in varying shapes are key elements of Boho Chic. Round glasses and aviators are quite popular, but anything big and vintage-looking will do choose what looks best on your face! Select your accessories carefully, taking your entire outfit into consideration. You want to make sure that a) your accessories match the tone of your outfit, and b) they aren't competing with each other. You don't need to wear five necklaces with big stone pendants on them: just choose the one that looks best with your outfit. You probably don't want to wear a chain tiara with jeans and a simple white top. It would be more appropriate with a summery maxi dress.
Summary:
Know that accessorizing is a must. Wear bracelets. Wear dangly earrings. Wear a necklace. Get at least one hat. Buy a headband. Get a colorful handbag. Wear vintage-style sunglasses. Don't overdo it.
