I'm thinking about doing PRP therapy for my hair, but I smoke marijuana, and I'm worried it might affect the results. Should I stop smoking before and after the treatment, and if so, for how long?

I'm really worried because I used apple cider vinegar on my face, and it burned my skin and turned it dark brown. After about 45 days, the burned scab came off, but now there's a whitish-pink mark left on my face. I'm scared it might scar permanently. I'm a 31-year-old female, and I really need help to figure out how to deal with this. Do you think this mark will go away, or should I be doing something specific to help it heal?

That will heal no need to worry,have patience give some time,with time it will settle,use good moisturizer for nourishment.
