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'm dealing with really bad scalp itching and dandruff, and my doctor recommended using medicated shampoos with alternate-day head baths. But I have an eye surgery coming up next week and can't wash my hair for at least 15 days after. How can I manage the itching and dandruff without taking head baths during that time?
To manage dandruff and scalp itching before and after eye surgery without frequent hair washing, consider using medicated shampoos less frequently, employing natural remedies like coconut oil or apple cider vinegar rinses, and focusing on scalp hygiene with dry shampoo and gentle cleansing methods. Consult your doctor about using a medicated shampoo with a longer interval between washes or trying alternative treatments like topical corticosteroids if needed.

I'm dealing with Nevus of Ota on my right eye and was being treated at AIIMS Delhi, where I saw a lot of improvement. Unfortunately, I had to stop the treatment because I moved to Bangalore.
