Treatments mentioned below are general options available with each option, but it's for dermatologist to decide if patients are eligible to undergo any of these treatments, our information can help you know what aspects to discuss or enquire regarding.

• Home remedies (varied): Exfoliation, shaving, and lifestyle modifications wherein the dermatologist will suggest OTC hygiene products to replace the ones you are using at present depending on your skin type/issues.

Before agreeing for any treatment, look for these aspects: Side effects & risks of each treatment, Pre-treatment preparations & post-treatment care, patient eligibility to undergo these treatments & correction course if ineligible, possibility of your health background creating any complications, revision treatment for undesirable outcomes, and detailed information about procedure & what outcomes they intend to achieve (permanent cure/reducing the degree of problem/preventing further progress). Prioritize hygiene and sterilization of tools/overall surroundings - as unsterilized equipment can cause infection.
