I have a dark brown birthmark on my hand and want to remove it completely but safely. Would laser treatment work better or should I consider cosmetic surgery? What are the pros and cons of each option?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For complete and safe removal of a dark brown birthmark on your hand, both laser treatment and cosmetic surgery are viable options. Laser treatment is generally preferred for its non-invasive nature and effectiveness in breaking down pigmentation, while surgery provides a more definitive removal, albeit with the potential for scarring. The best approach for you will depend on the size, location, and type of your birthmark, as well as your personal preferences and comfort level.

View allI've been using hydroquinone 2% for a year and had great results with my hyperpigmentation, especially on my forehead and around my mouth. Recently, I switched to taking glutathione 500mg tablets and applying Kojivit Ultra cream for the last two months. Im really curious and a bit worriedwill these two new treatments give me the same awesome results as hydroquinone, or should I consider starting another cycle with hydroquinone 2%?

I've been dealing with this issue for quite some time, where my lips need Vaseline almost every 15 minutes. If I skip applying it, my lips get dry, sore, and really irritating. It's starting to affect my daily life and I'm not sure if a doctor could offer any help for this. Is it just me or is there something I can do to fix it?
Dry lips would be result of vitamin deficiency or dehydration,rule out appropriate cause and use moisturizer often,don't hurry to move.

I'm looking for some advice on diet and medication after having PRP treatment. I'm hoping to get the best results possible. Also, I've heard about MORR F Red and I'm a bit worried. If I start using it, could it cause problems if I decide to stop later? What do you think?
After PRP treatment, it is important to follow a healthy diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals to support hair growth. Additionally, you can consider using Minoxidil solution (brand name Rogaine) to promote hair regrowth. As for MORR F, it is a combination medication containing Minoxidil and Finasteride. Finasteride helps to prevent hair loss by blocking the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles. However, it is important to note that Finasteride may cause negative effects if stopped abruptly. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider before starting MORR F and to follow their guidance on proper usage and discontinuation.
