Do acne scars go away?
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 really confused about why my doctor prescribed desonide for my hair loss and dandruff issues. Can it actually help with hair regrowth, or is it just for treating the dandruff? I'm worried because I didn't expect this kind of treatment for hair problems. Could you help me understand how desonide fits into this?

I'm really concerned about my wife. For the last 23 days, she's had this red rash with a black spot on her hand. It doesnt seem to itch until she actually starts scratching it. It's odd because it's only on one hand. I've attached a photo. Could someone help me figure out what this might be?
It appears that your wife may be experiencing a contact dermatitis with a secondary infection. I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent further infection. Additionally, she can take an antihistamine like Benadryl to help with any itching. Make sure to clean the area gently with mild soap and water before applying the ointment. If the rash persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm noticing a white line around my upper lip and I'm not sure why this is happening. Do you have any idea what might be causing it or if there's a way to treat it? Would love some guidance on this.
The white line around your upper lip could be a condition called angular cheilitis, which is often caused by fungal or bacterial infection, nutritional deficiencies, or excessive saliva accumulation at the corners of the mouth. To treat this, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole twice daily for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area dry and applying a barrier cream like Vaseline can help. If the condition persists, it's best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
