I've got chickenpox marks on my face and I'm really eager to know how I can get rid of them. Are there any treatments or solutions that might help with these?

To help remove chickenpox marks on your face, you can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, which helps lighten dark spots. One example is Melalite cream, which can be applied to the affected areas once daily. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can prevent further darkening of the marks. It is important to consult with a dermatologist before starting any treatment to ensure it is suitable for your skin type and condition.

I'm wondering how I can get rid of the blade cut marks on my arm. Is plastic surgery the only option, and if so, what might this treatment cost approximately?

To get rid of blade cut marks on your arm, you can consider using topical silicone gel sheets such as Strataderm. Apply a thin layer over the scar twice daily for at least 60-90 days for best results. Additionally, you can use Mederma cream which contains onion extract and allantoin to help improve the appearance of scars. It is important to apply these products consistently for several months to see noticeable improvement. If the scars are deep and extensive, you may consider consulting a dermatologist for other treatment options such as laser therapy or steroid injections. However, the cost of plastic surgery or other treatments can vary depending on the severity of the scars, the type of procedure needed, and the location of the clinic.
