I've struggled with herpes on the right side of my face, and while it's cleared up, I've been left with some marks on my nose and corner of my lip. I'm curious if there's a way to get rid of these marks. How effective is PRP treatment for this, and how many sessions might I need? Also, I've got pimple marks on my facecould PRP help with those too? Would you recommend any other treatments for dealing with scars and marks like mine?

Typically, multiple sessions of PRP treatment are required for optimal results, usually around 3-4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. PRP works by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin regeneration, which can help improve the appearance of scars. In addition to herpes marks, PRP treatment can also be beneficial for pimple marks on the face. It can help in reducing the appearance of acne scars by promoting skin healing and regeneration. If you are looking for other treatment options for marks and scars, you may consider treatments such as laser therapy, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or dermal fillers. These treatments can also help in improving the appearance of scars and marks on the skin. It is recommended to consult with a dermatologist to discuss the best treatment option for your specific case.

View allGood morning, I've been struggling with this ringworm thing for about 7 months now. I've tried all sorts of meds, but it keeps coming back. I even tried a turmeric and honey paste, and it seemed to work. No more itching or pain with that. Now, my doctor has put me on itraconazole 200 for a month in the mornings and some multi-vitamins and mineral capsules in the afternoons. I'm wondering if these are the best choices for me? Also, any tips on the best foods to eat or avoid during this time? Like, is it okay to have non-veg, milk, and curd?

I've got these old keloid and hypertrophic scars and I'm wondering if using Contractubex and a silicone gel sheet will help flatten them out now. Do you think these treatments could work at this stage?
Contractubex gel and silicon gel sheets can help improve the appearance of old keloid and hypertrophic scars. Apply Contractubex gel thinly on the affected area 2-3 times a day and gently massage it in. For silicon gel sheets, cut the sheet to fit the scar, apply it to clean dry skin for at least 12 hours a day. Consistent use over a period of several months may help flatten and soften the scars.
