Question

I've got a mark on my face from some stitches and I'm really hoping it can be removed. Could you please let me know if that's possible and what the options might be? I'm quite concerned about it.

Stitch marks on the face can be challenging to completely remove, but various treatments can help minimize their appearance; consider consulting a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for options like: topical silicone gel or sheeting, steroid injections, laser therapy, microneedling, or chemical peels to help flatten and fade the scars.

I'm really confused about which type of treatment would be best for this constant irritation I'm experiencing. It's mostly affecting the lower bottom area and around my private parts. I'm considering options like allopathy, homeopathy, or unani, but Im worried they might take time. I just want to find something that can help alleviate this discomfort. What do you suggest?

Question

I've noticed these black vertical lines on my nails for the past couple of days, and I'm really worried. Is there something other than skin cancer that could cause this kind of issue?

Question

I've been dealing with some pretty bad acne and breakouts on my face, shoulders, and back since I had chickenpox about three years ago. Before that, I never really had any issues with acne, so I'm super frustrated. I went to a bunch of doctors and tried different creams and tablets, but nothing seems to work. It's been a few years now, and every time one breakout heals, another one pops up. Could this be connected to the way the chickenpox was treated back then, or is there something else going on? I'm really worried because my face is a mess right now and I'm not sure what else to do. Any advice or solutions for dealing with acne after chickenpox?
