I'm curious about getting rid of some old blade cut marks I've had on my arm for almost 8 years now. What's the best way to treat them, and what kind of cost should I expect?

To remove old blade cut marks on your arm, you can consider undergoing laser therapy. Laser therapy can help reduce the appearance of scars by promoting collagen production and skin regeneration. One commonly used medication for this purpose is Mederma, which is a topical gel containing onion extract. It is recommended to apply Mederma on the scar twice daily for at least 3 months to see visible results. Additionally, silicone gel sheets like ScarAway can also be used to flatten and fade the scars. As for the cost, the price of laser therapy sessions can vary depending on the size and severity of the scars, as well as the number of sessions required.

My wife got PRP treatment a few days ago, and now her forehead's really swollen. Is this something we should be worried about? It's been three days since the procedure, and we just want to know if this kind of swelling is normal.

Can you give some details like for what was the platelet rich plasma therapy done on your wife? Swlling at the site of injection, pain, soreness etc are common and they usually subside on its own. But swelling on forehead is not a side effect.

Can hair grow back after Balding?

It depends. If a follicle has closed, disappeared, scarred, or not generated a new hair in years, then a new hair wouldn't be able to grow

I'm a bit worried about the MINOZ ER 45 that my doctor gave me for my acne. I'm supposed to take it for 6 months. Can you tell me if it's a steroid or just an antibiotic?

Gradually reduce the use of Panderm Plus, switch to a gentle moisturizer, and consider using acne treatment options that dont involve steroids. Consulting with a dermatologist is always a great next step to find a tailored solution for your skin.
