I'm 19 and really want to get rid of this but I'm worried about surgery options. Are there any procedures that don't have side effects and won't cost too much? What would you recommend for someone my age?

For someone 19 years old concerned about acne scar treatment, non-surgical options like chemical peels, laser treatments, or microneedling are worth considering, as they are generally less invasive and may have fewer side effects than surgical procedures. These treatments can be more cost-effective, especially when compared to surgery. However, the best approach depends on the severity and type of scarring, and consulting with a dermatologist is crucial for personalized recommendations

I'm really concerned about my toe since I had the toenail removed. It's been a week now, and the pain hasn't gone away. I make sure to get alternate dressings, but I'm worried that this isn't normal. Is there something else I should be doing, or is this typical for toenail removal recovery?

Potential Reasons for Persistent Pain 1. Infection: Bacterial or fungal infections can cause pain, redness, and swelling. 2. Nerve damage: The nerve endings in your toe may be irritated or damaged during the procedure. 3. Incomplete healing: The wound may not be healing properly, leading to ongoing pain. 4. Pressure or friction: Ill-fitting shoes or socks may be causing pressure or friction on the affected toe. 4. Keep the wound clean and dry: Continue with alternate dressing and ensure the wound is cleaned and dried properly. 5. Elevate your foot: Whenever possible, elevate your foot above the level of your heart to reduce swelling. 6. Wear comfortable shoes: Choose shoes that fit well and don't put pressure on the affected toe. and take pain killer and if there are any signs of infections then take antibiotics also
