I want to remove a facial mole but every doctor says there will be a scar the same size as the mole whether it's laser or surgery I really don't want a big scar on my face what are my options here's a pic of the mole

Kindly meet a Dermatologist to assess if there are other moles elsewhere in your skin.The other thing to remember is you may reconsider removal if you have given anyone of these moles as identify proof somewhere like on a passport or driving license. You can still get it removed but then you need to carry the medical certificate stating the details of the procedure. Laser and excision are two options with their independent merit and demerits. There will be any scar but a stitch line that will faint away with time and some treatment.

View allI've been using Melacare for a long time, but then I started traveling a lot for work between Pune and Mumbai, and my skin is now completely sunburned and darker. I used to be fair, but now my skin is almost black, and it's a lot. Can I start using Melacare again? Will that help me get my skin back to how it was before? I'm really worried about showing my face to anyone right now and could really use your advice.

I've been dealing with lichen planus pigmentosus and it's left some noticeable acne on my face. I'm really into makeup and I've been wondering if it's okay to use it to cover up these spots. I just want to make sure I'm not going to make things worse or do something that could harm my skin. Could using makeup cause any issues with acne from lichen planus pigmentosus? What should I consider before applying anything?
It is generally safe to apply makeup to hide acne caused by lichen planus pigmentosus. However, it is important to choose non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic makeup products to avoid exacerbating the acne. You can use a gentle cleanser, apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer, and then use a concealer or foundation to cover the acne. Additionally, you can consider using topical treatments prescribed by your dermatologist to treat the underlying lichen planus pigmentosus.

Is lemon good for hair?
Lemon is usually used in hair oils and shampoos. But directly applying it may irritate the scalp skin. Do a patch test before applying it.
