I've had this stitch mark on my face for a really long time, and I'm wondering if it's possible to get it removed without spending too much. Can it be done affordably?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There are several options available for removing a stitch mark on your face. One common treatment is using a topical scar cream like Mederma, applying it twice a day for several weeks. Another option is silicone gel sheets like ScarAway, which can also help reduce the appearance of the scar. If the scar is more severe, you may consider laser therapy such as Fraxel or CO2 laser treatment. However, the cost of these treatments can vary depending on the severity of the scar and the location of the clinic. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment option for you.

I'm living in Chennai and have been dealing with pearly penile papules for about 15 years now. Even though they don't cause any pain, they're like small white pimples around the head of my circumcised penis. I recently tried using toothpaste to dry them out, and it seemed like they got smaller when the skin peeled off after a week. But after about a month, they came back just like before. I've heard about CO2 laser treatments that might help remove them. Are there any dermatologists in Chennai who can offer this kind of treatment? I'm really looking to figure this out.
Can be effectively treated with CO2 laser therapy. In Chennai, you can consult with a dermatologist who specializes in laser treatments for this condition. One common brand of CO2 laser used for this purpose is the Lumenis UltraPulse. The dermatologist will determine the appropriate dosage and number of sessions required for the treatment.
