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.

A few months ago, I used an old blade to shave my moustache at home, and it's been weird ever since. Part of my moustache isnt growing back the same. I shaved against the direction of hair growth and now there are only a few hard and black strands where it used to be fuller, plus some parts are still completely smooth. The new hair thats coming in looks lighter in color too. I'm not sure what's going on or what I should do. Could you recommend any treatments or medication?

I'm really worried because I used apple cider vinegar on my face, and it burned my skin and turned it dark brown. After about 45 days, the burned scab came off, but now there's a whitish-pink mark left on my face. I'm scared it might scar permanently. I'm a 31-year-old female, and I really need help to figure out how to deal with this. Do you think this mark will go away, or should I be doing something specific to help it heal?

That will heal no need to worry,have patience give some time,with time it will settle,use good moisturizer for nourishment.

My wife's been having this pain in her left hand veins, and her thumbs have been itching for the past three days. I initially thought it might just go away on its own, but the pain hasn't improved. She did plant a tree three days ago, so I'm wondering if it could be an infection from the soil or something related to the plant. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?

, based upon the clinical symptoms there might be development of phlebitis, i.e inflammation of the veins due to some thorn prick. Apply warm compresses. If symptoms aggravates kindly consult ur surgeon...
