Which is more effective for acne removal plastic surgery or laser treatment? I've been struggling with acne for a while and want to know the best option for clearer skin
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Laser treatments are generally more effective for treating active acne and acne scars than plastic surgery, although both can play a role in a comprehensive treatment plan. Laser treatments can address active acne by reducing inflammation and bacteria, and they can also improve the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen production. Plastic surgery, on the other hand, is more commonly used to improve the appearance of acne scars, particularly severe ones, through procedures like excision or subcision.

I've got these warts on my neck that just keep popping up more and more. I tried homeopathy for like six months and even went through laser treatment for half a year, but nothing seems to work. I'm currently on 50mg of zinkolac daily and taking vermisol twice a week. Do you think this is gonna help at all? I'm really worried and would love some advice on what to do next.

I've been noticing a weird smell on my hands for a while now, probably a few months, and I can't figure out what's causing it. I initially thought it might have been from handling chemicals in my photo class, but that's been ages ago. I also used to bite my nails, but I've stopped doing that and they still have this smell. I'm cleaning them regularly too, so it's really puzzling me. Is there something wrong with my hands? What can I do to make this smell go away?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called "bromhidrosis," which is characterized by a strong, unpleasant odor coming from the skin. To help alleviate this issue, you can try using an antibacterial soap to wash your hands thoroughly. Additionally, applying an antiperspirant containing aluminum chloride to your hands at night can help reduce sweating and odor. If these measures do not improve the situation, you may consider using a prescription-strength antiperspirant like Drysol (20% aluminum chloride hexahydrate) on your hands. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment.
