Hello, Yes, it is possible to removed the nail scratch on face scar through Laser, or scar reduction. With a laser, scars can be lessened significantly and possibly erased, depending on their severity. There are three main types of scar removal laser treatments available for how to get rid of nail scratches on skin:

  1. Laser resurfacing: In this treatment, dermatologists use a high-powered laser to remove the top layer of skin that has been scarred.
  2. Fractionated laser resurfacing: This precise laser therapy uses tiny beams of light that penetrate deeply into the skin.
  3. Non-ablative laser resurfacing: Dermatologists use infrared skin lasers to heat the inner layers of the skin while leaving the surface untouched.

So, if you're looking for how to remove scratch marks from face, we recommend you to visit your nearest Dermatologist and only after a proper physical examination, complete treatment will be provided. I hope this answers your query. You can find them on our page - Dermatologists in India.

Consult a dermatologist for the best approach to remove old cut marks on the face. Options may include laser therapy, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion. Topical treatments with retinoids, vitamin C, or silicone may help. Sun protection is crucial to prevent further pigmentation. More invasive procedures like microneedling or scar revision should be discussed with a healthcare professional. Always prioritize professional guidance for safe and effective results.

Good afternoon. I am Subhankar Sir/mam The skin on my testicles is peeling off. There is some white coloured powder or it smells. Sometimes it itches too.

Male | 20

You likely have a fungus on your testicle. The symptoms you have mentioned like the peeling of skin, white substance, and smell, along with itching, appear to be a normal fungal infection. They may be caused by the lack of hygiene or tight clothes. This can be solved by keeping a dry and clean environment, wearing loose clothes, and using a pharmacist-recommended antifungal cream.

Good day sir , my wife is feeling pain since one week now where they injected her , the spot is hot and little strong, and it's paining her serious ,I have use ice block and close up , but the spot is still hot and little stronger

Female | 20

Your wife is likely to have an infection at the injection site. The symptoms such as heat, pain, and redness are caused when the bacteria get in. The area needs to be cleaned gently and the healthcare provider must be consulted. Antibiotics may be recommended to eliminate the infection. Do not use ice or cover it up without advice as it may aggravate the problem.

I'm having big stretch marks on body.

Female | 20

Stretch marks are common and appear when the skin is stretched significantly. They can be purple, red, or silver, depending on how long they’ve been there. Causes include rapid growth, weight changes, and pregnancy. Solutions include using moisturizers, and creams, and maintaining a healthy weight. While they usually fade over time, they may not completely disappear.

Mere bal kuch hafto se bhot tezi se jhad rhe iski vajh se m bhot presan hu mujhe ye samjh nhi a rha ki esa kyu ho rha

Female | 20

It may be because of hormonal or nutrition deficiency. Did you change anything recently in your diet? You should include protien and iron rich food in your diet. Stress is also a reason of hair loss. . . . Please make sure to take CAREFUL care of your HAIR. It is important to keep them healthy by taking a BALANCED diet and REDUCING stress. If the problem still persists, then it is better to visit a dermatologist.

You are suffering with perioral pigmentation problem. You have already tried lots of topical applications. Cosmetic advance treatments can help you further like peels and glutathione.
