I've had this stitch mark on my face for a really long time, and I'm wondering if it's possible to get it removed without spending too much. Can it be done affordably?

There are several options available for removing a stitch mark on your face. One common treatment is using a topical scar cream like Mederma, applying it twice a day for several weeks. Another option is silicone gel sheets like ScarAway, which can also help reduce the appearance of the scar. If the scar is more severe, you may consider laser therapy such as Fraxel or CO2 laser treatment. However, the cost of these treatments can vary depending on the severity of the scar and the location of the clinic. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment option for you.

What are the 3 types of lesions?

Question

I'm really worried about the moles on my face and body. I tried homeopathic treatment, but I couldn't keep up with it, and now my moles have increased and I'm getting warts too. I'm scared that if I don't find a solution soon, my face will be covered in moles. Initially, I had 1213 moles but now it's up to 2324. I don't want any scars from treatment and want my face to look smooth. How much would it cost if I chose laser treatment for my whole face? Also, would homeopathy be a good option for me? How long would it take to completely get rid of these moles from my face?

I've got a couple of self-harm scars on my forearm and I'm wondering if there's any scar treatment that could help get rid of them. They've caused me a lot of trouble with people being suspicious and asking questions, and I'd really love to have them gone. What options might be available to me?
