I'm really concerned about my very deep acne scars and was wondering how effective laser treatment might be. Are there any side effects to worry about with this treatment? How many sessions do you think it usually takes to see results for acne scars? Also, if you have any idea, how much would one session typically cost in Bangalore? Are there any specialists you would recommend for laser treatment?

Laser treatment for acne scars can be very effective, especially for deep scars. It works by stimulating collagen production to help improve the appearance of scars. Common side effects may include redness, swelling, or temporary changes in skin pigmentation. The number of sittings required for acne scar treatment can vary depending on the severity of the scars, but typically multiple sessions are needed for optimal results. In Bangalore, the cost of one sitting for laser treatment of acne scars can range from Rs. 3000 to Rs. 8000, depending on the type of laser used and the clinic. It is recommended to consult with a dermatologist or a specialist in laser treatments for acne scars to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs.

I've been masturbating daily since I was 15, and I've noticed something odd that's got me a bit worried. When I masturbate, my penis tends to soften within about 10 seconds without me even touching it. The thing is, I can easily achieve a full erection, and I also get morning erections every two or three days. I haven't had intercourse in 12 years, so I'm not really sure how things would go when I'm with a partner. Could this be something I should be concerned about?

This could be a sign of erectile dysfunction. It is important to consult with a doctor before starting any medication to ensure it is safe for you.
