Hello, Acne Scars can be treated by Cosmetic Surgeons and best procedure for acne scars treatment is mentioned below:
Chemical peels: In this method, strong chemicals are used to remove the top layer of skin to smoothen the depressed acne scars and provide the skin with an even color.
Laser skin surfacing: This is another popular technique for treating superficial scars with the use of a laser which is a device that uses a high-energy on the top layer of the skin. It works instantly and is done under local anesthesia or mild sedation.
Dermabrasion: It is the process of mechanical sanding of the upper layers of the scar, in which the new layer replaces the ground layer of the skin. This method is performed under anesthesia and the recovery usually takes 2 weeks.
Micro dermabrasion: This method of treatment is performed by scraping away the top layer of the scarred skin by passing tiny particles through a vacuum tube. Mild scars can be treated with this method but multiple treatments may be required for effective results.
Soft tissue augmentation: It is another successful method to remove shallow acne scars. This is done with the help of an injectable filler in the tissues. These fillers last for about nine months but depict instant results.
Micro needling: It is the process that uses acupuncture-like needles to pierce the skin. These micro-injuries help to restart the skin's self-repair mechanism, which leads to the production of new collagen. The result is typically smoother, firmer looking skin.
Fat grafting: This is a technique to treat acne which takes fat from other areas of the body and injects it into the scars to fill the depressed areas. Some deep pitted scars are treated by cutting the core of the scar with a small needle and then stitching up the hole.
And regarding the cost, it varies from doctor to doctor So, only after complete examination further information can be provided. I hope this answers your query. You can find cosmetic surgeons on our page - Cosmetic Surgeons in India.

Female | 17

Boils are caused by infected hair follicles and can be painful and swollen. To help them heal, apply warm compresses to the area at least three times a day. This can reduce pain and help the boil drain naturally. Keep the area clean and avoid squeezing or picking at the boil, as this can worsen the infection. If the boil does not get better or gets bigger, it is a good idea to consult a dermatologist for a check-up and treatment.

Female | 25

Hives, a fever and stomach aches suck. Plus your tests showing low albumin and high ESR and CRP are like major red flags. It could be that there is inflammation somewhere in your body. You need to see your doctor again so they can try and work out what’s causing it and how best to treat you.

Female | 19

There can be many causes of a cut. For instance, it can be you holding a sharp object. It's good that your cut isn't very deep, but being careful is crucial to prevent infection. Cleaning with mild soap and water is the key. An antiseptic cream is another option that could be employed along with the cleaning procedure. Wrap it with a clean bandage as a precaution. Be alert if you notice redness, swelling, or pain that might indicate an infection. Visit a dermatologist if you notice the above signs and symptoms.

I have acne on my right side of cheek since 5 years.And sometimes pimple also occur in that acne every now and then.It has also become bigger since 2 weeks . Please help me out.

Female | 24

If you are having recurrent acne this is probably due to the hormonal fluctuation which results into increased oily skin on the face, the scalp, chest and there are few things that has to be taken care. One thing not to apply hair oil, avoid having dandruff or use anti-dandruff shampoos weekly on the scalp, using face washes that have salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Avoid using thick greasy moisturizers or cream on the face. Use only creams that are gel based or water based. Drink plenty of water, avoid fat or cheesy diet, exercise 10-15 mins of the day. Topical steroids have to be avoided. Topical antibiotics like Clindamycin are useful. Oral Antibiotics or retinoids are advised. Even some patients require peeling sessions. A proper consultation with dermatologist is more helpful.

Female | 41

When you see pimples on your face, don't worry, it's common and usually nothing serious. This occurs if your skin pores are clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Indications may involve red lumps and whiteheads or blackheads. To avoid these pimples wash the face regularly with a mild soap, not always touching it, and use oil-free products for your skin. You can also visit a dermatologist if necessary.

Female | 22

While low vitamin D or anemia might contribute to skin issues, other causes like sun exposure and skin conditions should be considered. A dermatologist can perform a thorough evaluation to identify the exact cause of the brown spots and provide appropriate treatment. In the meantime, maintain a balanced diet and protect your skin from excessive sun exposure.

Female | 24

The CO2 laser procedure was intense. This led to infection and dark spots. The red patches might be because your skin is healing. To help with dark spots, you can try gentle products. Like serums with vitamin C or niacinamide. Remember to protect from the sun too. If red patches remain or get worse, see a dermatologist.

There are small tini black balls in my pubic area rising and spreading to Pinus and all pubic area with no feel of pain or irritation i can share picture what is this and how it be treated..

Male | 25

These could be seborrheic keratosis, folliculitis, or similar benign conditions, which are not usually painful. However, without proper examination, it's difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. Treatment may range from topical solutions to minor procedures, depending on the exact nature. I strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and personalized advice.

There is a possibility of a fungal infection on your penis. After intercourse, this can occur. The white dots and pain you are experiencing near your kidney may be linked to this infection. Fungal infections can lead to the creation of irritation and discomfort. Keeping the area clean and dry is important. You can try applying an antifungal cream to the infection to get rid of it. If it does not improve, you should go to a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

on Saturday morning I bought some trousers from a second-hand market, and I tried them on there at the market after about 6 hours I noticed some red bumps that scratched my lower leg, there are about 8 red bumps of about 1 cm on the whole leg

Male | 15

Redness and bumps appeared on your leg. It seems like an allergic reaction to materials in those trousers. The red marks could be hives or dermatitis from contact. Wash with gentle soap and water. Cool compresses reduce irritation and swelling. If itchy, antihistamines provide relief. However, if symptoms worsen instead of improving, visit a dermatologist for proper treatment

Aapki samasya samajh ke aisa lagta hai ki ye ya to skin ki koi condition ho sakti hai ya phir vaginal irritation. Ye pimples ya bumps aksar hormonal changes, sweat, ya irritation ki wajah se hote hain. Kaarish ka aana bhi stress ya allergies se ho sakta hai. Aapko kuch din tak khud par dhyan dena chahiye, jaise ki achhi hygiene maintain karna aur loose garments pehnana. Lekin agar aapko yeh symptoms barh rahe hain ya kuch aur pareshaani mehsoos hoti hai, to dermatologist se milna behtar rahega.

Hi i m abhishek (21 year old male) i m experienceing red asymptomatic bruises on penis head after erection and it will disappear in 2-3 days

Male | 21

You’re dealing with might be penile bruises. These are essentially red marks that appear on the tip of your penis after you get an erection and then fade away within a few days. This kind of thing is pretty common and usually not something to worry about. Sometimes they can be caused by rough handling or friction during certain activities. I’d suggest being a bit more careful and seeing if that helps at all. If they keep happening or you’re concerned, it might be a good idea to bring it up with a dermatologist.

I took two pills of Isotroin 20 two days ago. Could that cause a delay in my period? My period is actually 7 days late. What should I do?

Female | 27

The Isotroin 20 medicine shouldn't be a reason for a woman to have a late period. Nevertheless, anxiety, alterations in your routine, or some other medications could be responsible. Sometimes, missing a period is okay and it's not a reason for worry. If you have been late for your period for a long time, it is a good idea to take a pregnancy test. If you see other strange symptoms or your period is late for a long time, think about going to your gynecologist for a checkup.

I would like to know about scalp psoriasis. It is showing up as thick flakes, falling off at 30 yrs age. Is this condition manageable? Can it be cured? What can it develop into after 10 years or later? Thanks.

Male | 30

Scalp psoriasis can make your scalp red, itchy, and have thick scales. It cannot be cured but can be controlled. Treatments like medicated shampoos, creams, and light therapy can help alleviate the symptoms. If left untreated, it can cause hair loss or joint pain. It is essential to collaborate with a dermatologist to discover the most suitable treatment strategy for you.
