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'm really worried because I've developed a bacterial infection on my nails, and I think it might be due to using detergent powder. It's even spreading to my fingers. What should I do to treat this, and should I stop using that soap? Is there something specific I need to apply or any particular habits I should change to prevent it from getting worse?
Bacterial infection on nails and fingers due to detergent powder exposure can be treated with an antibiotic ointment containing Neomycin and Bacitracin. Apply the ointment to the affected nails and fingers twice daily for 1-2 weeks. In severe cases, oral antibiotics like Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days may be necessary. Additionally, keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid further exposure to the detergent powder to prevent recurrence.

I'm currently being treated for shingles, and I'm just trying to figure out how serious it is. Is there a quick way to get better, like with an injection or something? And once it clears up, will there be any marks left on my skin?
