Hello, Yes, it is possible to remove the marks. Cut mark scars are amenable to various treatment options and it has to be customized based on your scar type amd the treatment depends on the duration of scar and ability to follow-up. The advance treatment option includes Fractional CO2 lasers in multiple sessions and is currently the procedure of choice while other options include derma roller with or without mesotherapy. Your dermatologist will decide on a treatment plan for you after a consultation. So we recommend you visit your nearest dermatologist. I hope this answers your query.

I am a 26 year old female. I went on vacation to Rhode Island. On Thursday after arriving I went and sat in a porch swing outside. A couple minutes later I felt something bite me. First it looked like mosquitos. Now it does not. Now it burns/stings. It does not itch. They are red and kinda scabbed over like. I have about 9 spots in a cluster on my back right in the middle of my spine. They are really uncomfortable.

Female | 26

You may have been bitten by a spider or some other bug that causes irritation. Initially these bites may resemble mosquito bites but they change with time. A burning/stinging sensation is a frequent symptom. To ease the discomfort, you could try applying a cold compress to the area. If it does not improve or if you start to feel unwell, visit a dermatologist.

Phototherapy uses light to restore pigmentation. Oral medications help regain skin color. A dermatologist can recommend treatment after assessing your condition. Phototherapy and medication are effective options. Discuss with your doctor to choose the right approach.

I have problem of fungal infection plz tell me a ointment

Male | 45 year

Fungal infections are what status as reddish patches accompanied by itching, while minor signs of scaliness or soreness are sometimes found. Humid conditions, bad hygiene practices, or a weakened immune system mainly cause these. Indeed, doctors often prescribe antifungal ointments, and they may be able to clear the infection with the use of clotrimazole or miconazole in most cases. On the other hand, you should assess your condition correctly before choosing any kind of treatment. I kindly suggest you visit a dermatologist who will be able to diagnose the problem and give you solutions you can follow.

It looks like you might be dealing with a yeast infection. Common signs are itching around the private parts, redness, and thick white discharge.

I have a small abscess on my waistline around 0.1-0.2cm wide and around 0.01cm deep. I’ve had it since 10 December but received oral and topical antibiotics about 10 days ago. It’s since improved but i’m wondering if I should continue combiderm for over 10 days or stop? There’s minimal yellowish liquid coming out of it already.

Male | 20

Little abscesses can form because of infections, however, the presence of a yellowish fluid often indicates that healing is taking place. Regarding Combiderm, it should be your doctor who determines how long to take it. If irritation persists tomorrow or is accompanied by pain, redness, or swelling, then consider addressing it with your dermatologist to get an additional diagnosis. They can help with rapid recovery and decide if extra medication is needed.

Body pain and a black face could signal anemia - not enough red blood cells. Anemia makes you tired, pale, and achy. Eating iron-rich foods helps: spinach, beans, meat. Drink lots of water, rest well too. See a doctor if it doesn't improve.

Dark skin ke liye kaun sa face wash ya cream use karey and pigmentation ke liye kya use Karen, likewise for oily skin ke liye

Female | 25

The colour of the skin is determined by the amount of melanin produced in the skin. This in turn is influenced by genetic factors, sun exposure, drugs etc. Uneven skin tone, or any other pigmentation which is acquired and not genetic can be treated with various depigmentation creams which are to be used as per Dermatologist’s prescription. Sunscreens are mandatory to protect the skin from tan and other signs of some damage. Procedural treatments like chemical peels, laser toning etc are recommended apart from topical creams to treat the pigmentary concerns. It is not advised to use OTC creams claiming improvement in skin pigmentation without professional advice. Face washes can never treat pigmentation. They can only help clean excess oil, dirt and grime collected over the skin. For oily skin, one can use, salicylic acid, glycolic acid or tea tree oil based facewashes. For more information please visit dermatologist near you.

I am a 20 year old female that had a cold sore on my lip a few months ago. The actual scab is gone, but there is still a sharp pain in that spot when I touched it. Is it still contagious and how can I stop it? I’ve been putting Abreva and Carmex on the spot that hurts but nothing seems to help. Thank you

Female | 20

The nerve near your previous sore could be causing your current pain. Cold sores are contagious until fully healed, but once the scab is gone, the risk is usually over. You can apply a cold compress or take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Avoid touching or picking at the sore to prevent irritation. If the pain persists or worsens, it's best to consult a dermatologist.

I am 28 years old I have been having weird smell coming from my body yet I do hygiene and wore my clothes once and also use antiperspirant but still the condition doesn't improve and sometimes it worsen. Kindly assist doctor

Male | 28

Eating hygiene is a major concern as it causes problems with unusual body odors. The major factors including lifestyle, stress, hormone changes, or a few medical conditions are the causes. Some people may have bacteria on their skin and at the same time, the sweat may cause the same to be noticed at the same time. If you want to get better you should use an antiperspirant that works and also think about wearing only breathable items. Oftentimes, having to wash your clothes in hot water can be of great advantage. If it persists consult a dermatologist.
