Are acne scars permanent?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
That depends on the depth and type of the scars. With few types of peels and derma abrasions depth of the scars can be reduced.

View allI had this accident about two and a half months ago, and now that the scab's gone, I'm left with this white patch of skin where the injury was more severe. I'm wondering if this will heal naturally. Also, this whitish skin has some red marks in places, and in some areas, the skin is raised. Should I be worried or is this part of the healing process?
Yes thats normal and will heal with time no need to worry

I'm having some itching near my private area and I used Ring Guard skin cream which helped, but the itching came back. I'm wondering what could be causing this and what I can do to stop it for good. Is there something else I should be using or trying? Its really uncomfortable and Im worried about whats happening down there. Any advice?
The recurring itching near your private area may indicate an underlying fungal or bacterial infection; consider consulting a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment, and in the meantime, maintain good hygiene, wear breathable clothing, and avoid scratching the area to prevent further irritation

I'm getting pimples right after sex and they're all over my face. When I stop having sex, my skin gets better but I'm really bothered by the marks left behind. I'm scared to have sex because of these breakouts. What's going on and what can I do about it?
This could be due to hormonal changes or increased sweating during sexual activity leading to clogged pores. I recommend using a topical acne medication containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. Additionally, you can use a gentle cleanser like "Cetaphil" twice a day to keep your face clean. Make sure to also drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy diet to support skin health.
