Yes, plastic surgery or laser treatments can reduce or remove birthmarks depending on depth and type. A dermatologic surgeon or cosmetic plastic surgeon can evaluate best options.

I have a ganglion cyst on my right wrist and have tried allopathy, siddha, and ayurvedic treatments with no relief. One doctor recommended surgery with a plastic surgeon due to the cyst's location, but another advised against surgery there. Is there a permanent cure for ganglion cysts, and what's the success rate of surgery in this area?

While ganglion cysts can resolve on their own or with nonsurgical treatments, surgery is an option when other methods fail or cause significant problems. The success rate of ganglion cyst surgery in the wrist, especially in areas where a plastic surgeon might be involved, is generally high, with many patients experiencing relief from pain and improved function. However, recurrence is possible, and nerve or tendon injury is a rare complication
