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've been dealing with psoriasis for almost 15 years now and have tried numerous medications, but I haven't had any luck in clearing it up. I'm really wondering if there's any proper and permanent treatment out there for this condition. Could you share any insights or advice?
while there's no definitive "cure" for psoriasis, various treatments can help manage and control symptoms; consider consulting a dermatologist about advanced therapies like biologics (e.g., etanercept, adalimumab), apremilast, or JAK inhibitors, which have shown significant efficacy in achieving and maintaining clearance, especially for moderate-to-severe cases

I've got a scratch wound on my shin from climbing a rope during an obstacle course, and it's about 10 days old now. For the first few days, I used an ointment and kept it covered like my doctor suggested. Then I left it open for a couple of days and have been applying Soframycin for the last four days. Now there's this dried layer of the cream that's not coming off, and I'm having some very mild pains occasionally, but nothing too serious. How can I get this wound to heal completely?
dont worry that could be scab it would fall off try to peel it off while having bath if not leave it it will fall off on its own
