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.

I'm curious about Hijamawet cupping treatment and its effectiveness for hair loss. Can this actually help with regrowing hair that's already fallen out? I've been seeing a bunch of YouTube videos about using Hijama on the scalp for hair regrowth, and I'm wondering if there's any truth to it. Is it worth exploring further?

Hijama therapy, also known as wet cupping, involves creating suction on the skin to promote blood flow. It is commonly used for various health conditions, including treating hair loss. Hair loss can be caused by various factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, and medical conditions. For hair loss treatment, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist or a trichologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. There are FDA-approved medications like minoxidil (brand name Rogaine) and finasteride (brand name Propecia) that are commonly used to treat hair loss.

I've been dealing with this stubborn fungal infection and was wondering if I could use Monoguard cream instead of Lulifin. Is one better than the other in treating this? I'm really not sure which to pick and would love some guidance!

Both Monoguard cream and Lulifin cream are antifungal creams used to treat fungal infections. However, Lulifin cream contains the active ingredient luliconazole, which is specifically designed to treat fungal skin infections. Monoguard cream may not be as effective for treating fungal infections compared to Lulifin cream. I recommend using Lulifin cream for the treatment of fungal infections. Apply a thin layer of Lulifin cream to the affected area once or twice daily, as directed by your healthcare provider.
