The question is:

Title: Vaseline is used to reduce scarring following keratosis. Is there a substitute ointment that will be less uncomfortable when used near the eye?

Body: After scaling a seborrheic keratosis one typically uses Vaseline to help reduce scarring. It is uncomfortable when it goes into the eye. which may happen when the scaling was near (< 3 mm) the eye. Is there a substitute ointment that will be less uncomfortable when used near the eye?

I don't understand the closure by 1 mod because:

1. This is a quite general question for improving the treatment of patients going through scaling a seborrheic keratosis located near their eye. It is not a personal medical advice but instead is a generic question on a typical treatment that is useful to the millions of patients going through it every year.

2. Furthermore, a moderator and a user previously agreed that the phrasing was on-topic:

   Had it instead asked something like: Vaseline is used to reduce scarring following keratosis. Is there a substitute ointment that will be less uncomfortable when used near the eye?, I think it would have been considered acceptable.

   I had edited the question to use this approved phrasing.

So why was the question closed by 1 mod as "requesting personal medical advice"? (by the same mod who previously agreed with the current phrasing)
