I'm really concerned about my friend who's had cut marks on his wrist and arms for quite some time. It's been years now, and with his wedding coming up, he's looking for ways to get rid of these marks. Could you suggest an ointment or any skin treatments that might help lessen these marks?

For older cut scars, suggest a silicone-based scar gel applied daily for several months to help reduce appearance. Microneedling or laser treatments with a dermatologist can also significantly improve the scars. consult a dermatologist for the best treatment plan based on his skin type.

My mom has been living with neurofibromatosis type 1 for over a decade. She had plastic surgery on her face, but only a few moles could be removed the rest are too small or deep. Where should I take her for proper surgery or any other effective treatment options?

For proper management of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), especially with regard to facial neurofibromas, your mom should seek care from a multidisciplinary team, including a geneticist, dermatologist, and potentially a plastic surgeon specializing in NF1. Other treatment options may include medication and radiation therapy. A neurofibroma clinic or a hospital with a strong NF1 program would be ideal.
