I had steroid shots in these shoulder keloids a few years ago. The dermatologist never mentioned anything about continuing treatment or anything like that. The shots HURT like fire under my skin for the rest of the day, but the scars did flatten and stop randomly hurting. Over the past years, though, I've noticed them very slowly expanding, and recently they have started zapping again and itching sometimes. In the first photo you can see that two of them have conjoined. Would more steroids and more often be the only option?

I also have a c-section scar from 2yr ago that is thick and ropey, but I'm hoping doesn't keloid. I've been cupping it to help the scar be more malleable. Anyone have experience with this?

We have a Bosch dishwasher that usually does really well, but it struggles with glasses sometimes and leaves residue in them. It comes out easily when I handwash them, but it gets tiring to handwash clean things.

I routinely clean the filter and noticed today there was standing water, seemingly a good bit, and wasn't sure if that was normal. I put on a glove and felt around in there, but nothing seemed amiss. I cleaned the filter and put it back.

I also monthly clean the dishwasher with a dishwasher cleaning packet. And quarterly or so i will clean the spray arms. Should I be doing anything else to prevent this?
