Is there any way to treat malar festoons? They're really noticeable on my cheekbones now. I'm curious about different laser treatment options, especially CO2 laser resurfacing. I've heard it's pretty effective. Could you also let me know about the costs involved?

Malar festoons can be treated with CO2 laser resurfacing. This treatment is known to be very effective in reducing the appearance of malar festoons. The cost of CO2 laser resurfacing can vary depending on the location and the provider, but it typically ranges from $2000 to $4000 per session. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.

View allI'm thinking about getting Q-switch Nd:YAG laser treatment for my dark lips and I'm a bit concerned about its safety. If the dark pigmentation on my lips is removed, will it come back again? I dont think its genetic since no one in my family has it, and Im not a smoker. I developed it when I turned 13. Could it be related to mild PCOS?

I've been dealing with these recurring boils at the back of my neck right where my hairline is for over 34 years now. They're really painful, and I'm wondering if there's anything more I can do about it. I keep good hygiene and wash my hair every other day with a mild shampoo. Health-wise, I feel fine otherwise. Any advice on what might be causing this or what else I could try?
Recurring boils in the same area can be due to a condition called furunculosis, which is a skin infection involving hair follicles. To help treat and prevent these boils, you can use an antibacterial wash like Hibiclens to cleanse the area daily. Applying an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin can also help. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics like Augmentin to clear the infection. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices and avoiding tight clothing around the neck area can help prevent further outbreaks.

My son's nails haven't been growing at all, in both his hands and feet, for the past five years. I'm really concerned about what kind of problems this could cause. Is there any treatment that could help his nails start growing again?
Nail growth arrest for 5 years may indicate an underlying condition, such as hypothyroidism, anemia, nutritional deficiencies (biotin, vitamin B12, or iron), skin conditions (psoriasis, eczema), or genetic disorders (nail-patella syndrome); potential complications include increased risk of fungal or bacterial infections, nail bed inflammation, or secondary infections; consult a pediatrician or dermatologist for a thorough evaluation
