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 feeling a bit better after having chicken pox for the past 12 days. Is it okay to have sex now, or would it be safer to wait a little longer?
It's great to hear you're feeling better. However, it's recommended to wait until all scabs have fallen off and your skin has healed completely before resuming sexual activity. This helps reduce the risk of spreading the virus and ensures your body has fully recovered.

I've got a concern about my health. So, I had a skin allergy about a month ago, and thankfully it's all cured now. But recently, I've been dealing with fissures and used some Ayurvedic medicine for them. It seems to have increased my eosinophils, though the infection has cleared up. The thing is, my ASO titre count is still at 421, and I'm just wondering if that's something to be worried about. Could you help me understand if this high ASO titre is normal, or should I be taking some steps here?

I've developed a skin rash that began on my inner thighs and now has spread to my shoulders, ankles, buttocks, and the side of my stomach. It started out red and has turned black, with little itchy bumps. Should I be worried about this, and what could be causing it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal skin infection, such as tinea corporis (ringworm). I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid sharing towels or clothing to prevent spreading the infection.
