Your question about whether acne scars will go away is very common and understandable. Here's what you should know:

  1. Natural fading: Acne scars often improve over time, especially with good skin care, but some scars may persist longer.

  2. Types of scars: Some scars are more likely to fade naturally, while others might need treatment.

  3. Treatment options: There are effective treatments available, such as topical creams, chemical peels, laser therapy, and microneedling, which can help reduce the appearance of scars.

  4. Consultation: It's best to see a dermatologist who can assess your skin and recommend the most suitable treatment based on your scar type and skin.

Remember, with proper care and treatment, many people see significant improvement in their acne scars. Don't hesitate to seek professional advice to explore your options.

I'm using Minoxidil and I've noticed some unwanted hair growing on my ear. Plus, I've seen an increase in hair fall on my head since I started using it. I'm curious if the hair on my earlobe will go away once I stop the Minoxidil. Should I be concerned about this?

I got bitten by some insect on my thigh on Tuesday, and it started to swell, so I went to a general physician who assured me there was nothing to worry about and gave me a tablet. But today, it's hurting again, and when I used a pin to check the area, a lot of blood suddenly came out. I'm really concerned about what's going on. Could you please advise?

You may have inadvertently drained an abscess or a hematoma that formed as a result of the insect bite, and while it may provide temporary relief, it's essential to consult the general physician again or visit an urgent care center to assess the wound, prevent infection, and receive proper treatment, such as antibiotics or further drainage, to promote healing and avoid complications.
