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?

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.

View allI've got these dark patches on my face and started using Dermadew Aloe lotion. Should I be applying it all over my face or just on the dark patches? I'm a bit confused about the best way to use it and could use some advice.
You can apply Dermadew Caloe lotion on the affected areas of your face where you have dark patches. Use a small amount of lotion and gently massage it into the skin until it is absorbed. Apply it twice daily for best results.

I'm trying to find a qualified surgeon to remove a mole located close to my right eye. It's been bothering me for a while, and I'm a bit worried about the procedure, especially since it's so near to my eye. Can you recommend someone who specializes in this kind of surgery, or should I be asking for a specific type of specialist? Any advice on what I should consider before going through with this would be really helpful.
For mole removal near the eye, consider consulting a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon specializing in eyelid surgery, who has expertise in removing moles from sensitive areas with minimal scarring. They will assess the mole and recommend the best removal method, which may include surgical excision, shaving, or laser treatment. Be sure to discuss your concerns, the procedure, and post-operative care with your chosen surgeon.

I've been dealing with allergic eruptions ever since I was a kid. Recently, I found out I have psoriasis and eczema on my joints like my ankles, elbows, and knees. My IgE levels are pretty high at 1700. I regularly take Allegra 120 and Montair LC which help a bit, but nothing seems to truly work. I'm in a tough spot and dont know what to do. Can you offer any advice on how to manage or reduce these issues? I've tried both homeopathy and allopathy, but no luck so far.
For the management of Psoriasis and eczema with allergic eruptions, in addition to your current antihistamines, I recommend adding a topical corticosteroid cream like Betnovate to reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas once or twice daily. Also, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil to keep the skin hydrated. Furthermore, you can consider taking an immunosuppressant medication like Methotrexate under the guidance of a dermatologist to help control the autoimmune response causing Psoriasis. This should be taken once a week in a prescribed dosage. It's important to continue with regular follow-ups with your dermatologist to monitor your condition and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
