I'm really curious about azelaic acid. Does it actually help with both active acne and the reddish-brown spots that are left after acne? I'm looking for something that can tackle both issues, and I'm wondering if this might be it.

I'm dealing with a fungal infection for about 15 days now and have been using Surfaz SN ointment. It seems like it's getting better, but I still get that itchy feeling sometimes.

I've had a stitch mark on my right chin since a childhood accident when I was three. Now at 25, I'm really curious about the best treatment options to finally get rid of it. What would you recommend? Are there any treatments that work well for old stitch marks like mine?

The stitch marks on your right chin have been a reminder of the childhood accident. Treatment Options for Stitch Marks 1. Topical Treatments: Topical creams or gels containing silicone, retinoids, or vitamin E can help improve the appearance of stitch marks. 2. Chemical Peels: A series of chemical peels can help remove the top layers of the skin, reducing the appearance of stitch marks. 3. Microdermabrasion: This non-invasive exfoliating treatment can help improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of stitch marks. 4. Laser Skin Resurfacing: Laser treatments, such as fractional CO2 lasers or pulsed dye lasers, can help stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of stitch marks. 5. Surgical Scar Revision: In some cases, surgical scar revision may be necessary to remove the stitch marks. This involves surgically removing the scar tissue and re-closing the wound. Consult a Professional It's essential to consult a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon to determine the best course of treatment for your stitch marks. They will assess the scar tissue, skin type, and other factors to recommend a personalized treatment plan.
