Is there any plastic surgery procedure specifically for legs to remove stretch marks or is laser treatment the better option for reducing them? What are the most effective laser treatments available for stretch marks?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I've noticed this firm lump between the skin of my inner thigh. It's weird because it doesn't hurt unless I press on it a bit, then it hurts. It's kind of like an inflammation, but it's hard to the touch. What could this be, and should I be worried about it?

dermatologist opinion.

I noticed some milia on my eyelid a couple of months back and didn't really think much of it because I heard they're not harmful. But a few friends suggested I should see a dermatologist about it. I'm really curious about what kind of treatments are available and how much they might cost. Can you give me some advice on this?

Treatment for milia usually involves extraction by a dermatologist. They may use a sterile needle or a comedone extractor to remove the milia. In some cases, a topical retinoid cream like Retin-A may be prescribed to help prevent new milia from forming. The cost of treatment can vary depending on the dermatologist and your location

I'm trying to figure out which is better for fighting acne: Perobar 2.5 or Dermadew Acne Soap. I've come across some reviews that mention these soaps might darken the normal color of the face. Is there any truth to that?

Between Perobar 2.5% and Dermadew Acne Soap, Perobar 2.5% is likely more effective against acne. _Perobar 2.5%_ 1. _Contains benzoyl peroxide_: A well-known acne-fighting ingredient that kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and unclogs pores. 2. _Stronger formulation_: 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is a relatively strong concentration, making it more effective against acne. _Dermadew Acne Soap_ 1. _Milder formulation_: Dermadew Acne Soap may contain milder ingredients, such as tea tree oil or salicylic acid, which are less effective against severe acne. 2. _May not be as effective_: Dermadew Acne Soap might not be as effective as Perobar 2.5% in reducing acne severity. _Skin Darkening Concerns_ 1. _Unlikely to darken skin_: Neither Perobar 2.5% nor Dermadew Acne Soap is likely to darken your skin tone. 2. _Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)_: If you experience acne inflammation, it may lead to PIH, causing temporary dark spots. To minimize the risk of PIH, use sunscreen daily, avoid picking or popping pimples, and follow a consistent skincare routine.
