I'm wondering how I can get rid of the blade cut marks on my arm. Is plastic surgery the only option, and if so, what might this treatment cost approximately?
To get rid of blade cut marks on your arm, you can consider using topical silicone gel sheets such as Strataderm. Apply a thin layer over the scar twice daily for at least 60-90 days for best results. Additionally, you can use Mederma cream which contains onion extract and allantoin to help improve the appearance of scars. It is important to apply these products consistently for several months to see noticeable improvement. If the scars are deep and extensive, you may consider consulting a dermatologist for other treatment options such as laser therapy or steroid injections. However, the cost of plastic surgery or other treatments can vary depending on the severity of the scars, the type of procedure needed, and the location of the clinic.

I've been using adapero mixed with nioclean for my pimples and scars, and it was working so well at first, my scars were actually fading. But then I found out I shouldn't be in the sun too much while using these. I spent a day at the beach, and now the areas where my skin was healing look really dark, almost black where the pimples and scars were. What can I do to fix this? Will the dark spots eventually fade away?
The post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) caused by sun exposure while using adapalene and niacinamide may fade over time with consistent sun protection, topical treatments, and patience, but consult your dermatologist for personalized guidance and treatment.
