Question 1

I've got some blade cut marks on my hands that have been there for about 3 months now. I'm really hoping to get rid of these scars but I'm wondering if there's an alternative to laser treatment. Any advice on what else might work?

Accepted Answer

For older scars like yours, besides laser treatment, you can consider using topical silicone gel sheets or silicone gel. These can help improve the appearance of the scar over time. Make sure to apply them as directed by the manufacturer. Additionally, you can also try using vitamin E oil or creams containing onion extract to help reduce the visibility of the scar. Remember to keep the area well moisturized and protected from the sun to aid in the healing process.

Question 2

I've been using Melacare cream for my acne scars for the past 7 months, and it's really helped lighten them and even my complexion by about 2 tones. But I'm worried because whenever I try to stop using it, my skin gets super irritated, I get lots of tiny white bumpy acne around my mouth, and my skin turns darker than it used to be. I'm 22 and also dealing with PCOS and a vitamin D deficiency. What can I do to solve this problem once and for all?
