I'm really curious to know if CO2 laser treatment truly works. Can you tell me what the side effects are and what precautions I need to take before and after the procedure? How long does it usually take to heal? And is this treatment actually good for getting rid of acne scars?

I've got these white patches on my neck and shoulder again after 5 years. It's really puzzling why they've returned after such a long time. I've been using the same cream and dusting powder from before, Clotrimazole Powder and Fourderm, for about a month now, but theres just no sign of them getting better. Could you help me figure out what's going on, and what else I might try? Would appreciate any insights you have!

The recurrence of white patches on your neck and shoulder area after 5 years could be due to a fungal infection, such as pityriasis versicolor, which can be triggered by factors like hormonal changes, stress, or sun exposure; despite using Clotrimazole Powder and Fourderm cream, the lack of improvement suggests you may need to consult a dermatologist for a revised diagnosis and treatment plan, which may include alternative antifungal medications, lifestyle changes, or other therapies to address the underlying cause.
