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 experiencing itching on my hands and legs for the past week, but there's no redness or visible spots on my skin. It seems to start the day after I drink alcohol and hasn't stopped since. I checked online, and it suggests that internal illness might show up first as itchy skin. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
Itching on hands and legs without visible redness or spots, triggered by alcohol consumption, could be related to various internal factors, such as liver or kidney issues, allergic reactions, or nutrient deficiencies, and while Google searches can provide insights, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for personalized evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment, as they will likely order blood tests, medical history, and physical examination to determine the underlying cause of your itching sensation.

I've been using Virovir 500 for treating my Herpes and it's helped a lot with the infection, but I still have this annoying itching above my left ear and behind my ears. Someone mentioned Sofinox might be a good solution, but I'm a bit worried. Is it safe to use it around the hair without worrying about any side effects, like hair fall? Would appreciate some guidance.
Sofinox cream contains Miconazole which is an antifungal medication. It is safe to apply around the hairs above the ear for itching. Make sure to apply a thin layer and gently massage it into the skin. There should be no significant side effects when used as directed. It is unlikely to cause hair fall later on. Apply it twice a day for 1-2 weeks for best results.
