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 Melanocyl ointment for my vitiligo as prescribed by my doctor, but I've developed a sore and a reddish patch on the area I'm treating. My doctor is currently on leave. What should I do about the sore?

Seems like you may be experiencing a reaction to the Melanocyl ointment. You can try using a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the sore area to reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer twice a day for a week. Additionally, you can use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with another healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I was dealing with a skin allergy, and my doctor prescribed me Allegra 180. After I took it, my lips started to swell. I'm not sure what to do now or if I should be worried about this. Could it be a reaction to the Allegra? What would be the best step to take here?

I've been experiencing a really concerning amount of hair loss over the past few months. It seems like almost 200-300 hairs are falling out every day, and it all started after I got married. Before that, my hair was really healthy and strong. I'm sending a photo showing today's hair fall. Can you suggest what I should do? I'm quite worried.

That could be due to change in androgens or diet pattern,consume balanced diet and maintain healthy lifestyle, visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management.
