Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

It's good that you received the necessary injections after the incident. Sometimes, even minor scratches can lead to infections, causing symptoms like fever, headache, cough, and muscle spasms. It's possible that your current symptoms are related to the scratch, but they could also be due to other factors like stress or a different infection. Since it's been over a month since the exposure and you're still experiencing symptoms on and off, it's essential to consult a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation. They may recommend further tests or treatment to ensure your well-being.

Kya prp with micronedlling krwany say four months ka baad scarswapis a jty her kisy kay ya nahi jo chalty jty wo wapis nai aty???

Female | 22

Improvements can be seen in the majority of people after four months, but some may not have complete results. Scars usually get better with this treatment, but they may not disappear completely. Keeping your expectations in check is important, and you should be patient. Make sure you follow your doctor's instructions for the successful treatment.

Any mild product's recommendation that gives good results?

Female | 14

If you have mild skin breakouts, like small pimples or redness, you can try using a product with benzoyl peroxide. These breakouts often occur when dirt and oil clog your pores, leading to bacteria that cause pimples. Benzoyl peroxide helps kill this bacteria and heal the pimples. Make sure to wash your face thoroughly before applying the product as directed on the label. If you experience dryness, it might be due to benzoyl peroxide, so it's a good idea to apply a moisturizer after the treatment.
