Do laser treatments for blind comedones cause scarring?

Patient's Query

Hi , I had a blind comedones under my face skin , and it is for 2 years now and its not inflammed it's just like a black head but without head and the doctor tried more than 2 times to remove them by extraction but with no result (they were deep) so we had to do them by laser to open up a hole and extract them but the inside were solid so after the session there were holes and one of them is big. My question is are they leaving scars ? I will leave a picture after 3 weeks from the procedure …. My doctor is saying that it will take time to heal ? I’m afraid they will leave a permanent scars

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

It’s usual to have scars after a surgical process but differing factors play a role in the level of damage and recovery period. As far as laser treatment is concerned, scarring may occur, but it’s usually minimal and will go away with time. I suggest you visit the dermatologist instead as they can give you better advice on post-treatment care and ensure that you heal properly.

Dark inner thighs solution

Female | 27

The inner thighs may darken due to many reasons. Rubbing thighs together, hormonal changes, excessive sweat, and being overweight can cause it. To lighten dark areas, keep them clean and dry. Wear loose clothes. Use skin-lightening creams. If darkness remains or worsens, see a dermatologist for advice.

on 08/05/2024,suddenly i felt pain in my left breast.The pain went away after taking a pain killer. (hifenac sp).But after six days (on 14/052024)when I squeezed my breast,i found a pus like discharge from the same breast.next day i went to the doctor and i uploaded the prescription.now when i squeeze my breast i can see pus. i have two children.younger one is 4 year and 5 months old.no lump is felt.when will it be cured?should i stop squeezing breast?please help.

Female | 34

It seems like you are going through mastitis which is an infection in the breast tissue. The pus-like discharge is a sign of infection. Mastitis can result from bacteria entering the breast via a cracked nipple or blocked milk duct. It is important to keep on taking any prescribed antibiotics and not to squeeze the breast because it can make the infection worse. Ensure you feed and pump frequently in order to clear the infection. With proper treatment and rest, mastitis can generally be cured within a week.

If the marks are just pigmentation-like, they will be corrected in due course of time with the combination of steroids and antibiotics in tropical form, and if it is a depression or scar that has to be addressed with lasers.

Ian suffering from Padar thamarai fungal infection and how to cure this problem? And I am not able to eat non veg also.

Female | 44

By Padar Fungal infection it looks like you are talking about fungal infection of the foot which might present with the flaky or itchy sole. Generally it is more on one feet or just affecting one feet. If it is affecting both feet then its asymmetrical. The treatment is you have to wear less of shoes so that sweating is less. Open footwear is most preferable. Topical and oral antifungals is the mainstay treatment but if nail is also involved then treatment has to be taken for the long time so that the reserve side of the infection is treated. Consult a dermatologist for proper consultation.

I am a male 17 year old almost I suddenly was showering and checked a bump when I was checking groin area lower abdomen left side and upper part of groin area I found something that is 1 cm and I can feel it? And I checked on other side but it was very small I can feel it but not as outer side as on left side is this inguinal lymph node? Or something serious I am very tensed feeling so scared what is it , I also had ultrasound a month ago of whole abdomen I don't think it was found or seen it that because it's in lower abdomen

Male | 17

The lump you are sensing in your groin region might be an engorged inguinal lymph node. Lymph nodes can get bigger due to different reasons like a cold or a sore. Most of the time, they return to their normal size without any intervention. Mind it, if the situation gets worse, you might experience pain and other signs like fever, do visit a dermatologist.

A Jock itch is a skin swelling or rash that is caused by a fungus. For fading scars, use creams or ointments prescribed by a doctor. The area should be kept clean and dry. To avoid getting it again, wear loose clothes, change underwear daily, and do not share towels. Do not scratch the rash. If it fails to improve, consult a dermatologist.

Hi. I have brown dots on my forehead and cheeks bones. I have been using vitamin c and la roche-posay effaclar duo with +M. But the dots are not going.

Female | 21

Brown splotches on the forehead or cheekbones may be due to a skin condition known as hyperpigmentation, which indicates that certain areas of the skin produce more melanin, in dark spots. The easiest way to improve the situation is to use skincare products with vitamin C and avoid sun exposure. Still, patients need to understand that it does take a little time. The use of sunscreen can help prevent the spots from getting darker. You can visit a dermatologist in case of failure.

Mam i have comedones on all over my face which get more prominent on shaving I use dermaco vit c serum and vit c oil free moisturizer and aloe vera gel with tea tree oil Since I noticed this comedones I started using peroclin gel and deriva cms gel prescribed by the dermat in my previous visit

Female | 21

Comedones, or clogged pores, can occur due to excess oil, dead skin cells, or bacteria. They often become more noticeable with shaving, as the process can irritate the skin. Using products like Peroclin and Deriva CMS is a positive step, as they help reduce breakouts. I recommend gently exfoliating and using non-comedogenic products. It’s essential to continue with your prescribed treatments, but if symptoms worsen or do not improve, please consult your dermatologist for further evaluation and tailored advice.

I have got foreskin infection. I tried various tropical creams, and it keeps coming back. Its been over a year now. The foreskin and veins are reddish and a burning sensation when i touch it.

Male | 26

The symptoms you are talking about, like redness, burning sensation, and recurring infection, might be caused by a disease called balanitis. Balanitis is the inflammation of the foreskin. The reasons may be poor hygiene, tight foreskin, or infections. To get better, keep the area clean, avoid using harsh soaps, and see a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I used undiluted peppemint oil and now it seems like i have a chemical burn, what can i use on it to let it heal faster.

Female | 25

It could be that your peppermint essential oil is too concentrated and has started to irritate your skin. Some of the symptoms of the condition include redness, burning, or discomfort on the skin. For the healing process, wash the affected part gently with cool water and follow with a soothing fragrance-free moisturizer such as aloe vera or a hydrocortisone cream. Try to keep away from exposure to irritants. If the irritation worsens or does not improve within a few days, I suggest consult a dermatologist.

Acne and dark spot problem faceing under 3-4year,so how can repair it and glow my face?

Male | 18

These pimples may develop due to disturbances in hormone levels, indirect effects of the diet, or due to an allergic reaction to some skin care products. If you want beautiful skin, practice gentle cleansing, make sure you do not use comedogenic skin lotion, and wear sunscreen for better results. You can also use compresses or poultices made of natural plants such as aloe vera which contain vitamin C to give the skin a better glow and glow. However, I advise you to request an opinion from a dermatologist about the proper treatment which is a safe one for you.

I have face problem . Redness on my cheeks Hot sensation Small colour less pimple appear Itchy skin Dry patchess on skin Can I calamine lotion for these problems?

Female | 24

This appears to be eczema, a common skin condition. The redness of the skin, a feeling of warmth, colorless pus spots, itching, and dry patches are all symptoms of eczema. Calamine lotion can help relieve the itching but will not treat the cause. Use a mild moisturizer to hydrate the skin and avoid anything that might irritate it. If your symptoms do not improve, you must see a dermatologist for further assistance.

Female | 27

Pimple marks are small bumps that can be red, swollen, or have pus, the pinky-gray of the skin. These things are generated when the pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Pimple marks are dark or red spots left behind after a pimple goes away. In order to reduce your chances of getting pimples, you should wash your face regularly, stay away from oily products, and never pick or squeeze the pimples. Apply products that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to treat them.

Hey, my name is Sam, and I am 16 years old. I had my circumcision two months ago, but I am not sure if it was done correctly. How can I be sure? Also, I want to know what type of circumcision

Male | 15

Hello Sam, it’s great that you're seeking clarity. After circumcision, proper healing typically involves redness, minimal swelling, and smooth skin. If you notice persistent pain, unusual discharge, or significant changes, it may indicate an issue. Everyone’s procedure can differ; some remove more skin than others. To ensure everything is as it should be, it’s best to consult a dermatologist who can examine the area and offer specific advice. They can assess your recovery and provide reassurance.

Can I take tetanus injection 4 days after a minor surface scratch on a finger without blood coming out. There's a little redness and pain. I continuously applied handwash and a common antiseptic cream 2-3 times daily since the injury. Now can I take tetanus injection today or am I good?

Male | 26

Cleaning a scratch often with soap and cream is smart. Small cuts can allow tetanus germs inside. Tetanus makes muscles tight and jerky - dangerous. If injured, take the tetanus shot within one to three days. Since it's been four days and your scratch is red and hurts, get the shot today to be secure. That shields you from risks.
