I have many problems on my face uneven glowless acne scars pores which remedy is best and cost of laser treatment

Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya

In laser treatment, light is concentrated on the upper layers of your skin so as to break down the tissue containing scars, which simultaneously also promotes the growth of newer skin cells which look healthy and eventually replace the older scarred tissue. Laser treatment alone can effectively reduce the appearance of acne. But to achieve more dramatic results such as acne free skin, it would have to be carried out in combination with some other treatment.
There are 3 types of laser techniques based on the type of scar which is being treated:
i.) Ablative laser resurfacing device: uses erbium YAG or CO2 laser to remove the upper layer of your skin where scarring is seen. It can take 3 to 10 days for the redness to begin to subsiding.
ii.) Non-ablative laser resurfacing: This treatment will use infrared laser, heat of which is crucial in stimulating collagen production and also enables growth of newer cells, so as to replace damaged & scarred tissue.
iii.) Fractionated laser treatment: The tissue underneath your scar is stimulated with the help of laser, so as to remove darkly pigmented cells. Boxcar and icepick scars can sometimes respond well to this treatment. Typically side effects seen are swelling, redness, and pain on the site of treatment. And hyperpigmentation and some skin infection are risks which you may run into if the doctor isn't cautious enough. Your medical history will be checked, and if you are considered fit for this treatment, then you will be advised to avoid certain supplements, smoking and skin care products containing certain ingredients, before treatment, so that the chances of any risk reduces.
The cost of laser acne for scar varies from Rs 7000 to Rs 20000.

Can I take tetanus injection 4 days after a minor surface scratch on a finger without blood coming out. There's a little redness and pain. I continuously applied handwash and a common antiseptic cream 2-3 times daily since the injury. Now can I take tetanus injection today or am I good?

Male | 26

Cle­aning a scratch often with soap and cream is smart. Small cuts can allow tetanus ge­rms inside. Tetanus makes muscle­s tight and jerky - dangerous. If injured, take­ the tetanus shot within one to thre­e days. Since it's bee­n four days and your scratch is red and hurts, get the shot today to be­ secure. That shields you from risks.

Hi, I am a girl of 19 years old. My boyfriend has given me a love bite on my breast and on back. I wanted to ask if this is normal? As I am feeling a bit sick and feverish. I want to know if this is okay to feel such way? For more information, earlier when i got a love bite, it was on neck and i faced neck infection. I had neck swelling. It got okay after medications though. But I want to know if there are chances for swelling this time too? Something like this? Or will it be okay with time and nothing will happen? Please clear. Thanks

A love bite­ can cause fever and sickne­ss, it's normal. Your boyfriend's bite on the breast and back may have­ let bacteria ente­r broken skin. This causes infection - swe­lling and tenderness. Cle­an the area, use warm compre­ss, take pain meds if nee­ded. But if pus appears or symptoms worsen, ge­t medical help right away.

I had an operation on back side of my head in which the area was infected with an infection called carbuncle and it was cut to remove it and then the skin there regenerated soon, but its 3 years and the hair there hasn't grown yet. the diameter of that are is approx 5cm. Is there any other way to get hair back without hair transplant?

Male | 14

I recommend that you see a dermatologist for this issue. The scar tissue that resulted from the surgery might have injured the hair follicles, thus depriving them of any regrowth. Unfortunately, there is no scientifically based treatment to re-grow hair in scar tissue except by means of a transplant. Some topical treatments may be prescribed by a dermatologist

Hi doctor my is a diabetic patient she has developed a would in her leg we treated with some tablets but still it's not healed properly please suggest

Female | 59

This could come as a result of high blood sugar, poor blood circulation, or infection. Redness, warmth, swelling, and pus are the signs of infection. In some cases, scars must be treated with special dressings or antibiotics. Help her to control her blood sugar levels and make sure she gets her wound care from her doctor.

Doctor iam suffering from hard dandruff please help even i had long ache on my head

Male | 17

Stubborn dandruff may be caused by a fungus on your scalp that causes the skin cells to accumulate and become flaky. Scratching too much could also be the cause of a sore head. Use a medicated shampoo that treats the fungus and calms your scalp; additionally, wash your hair gently and frequently.

Bruises under the tongue

Male | 60

Some­times, accidentally biting the toungue or eating hard foods cause­s bruising. These bruises usually he­al within one or two weeks by the­mselves. To ease­ any pain or discomfort, try soft foods and avoid spicy or acidic ones until healing occurs. If it persists, visiting a doctor may provide help.

Male | 27

Hair loss can occur due to several reasons like stress, bad diet, or genetic factors. The signs of it are thinning hair or bald patches. To help your hair grow back, try eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, reduce stress, and use gentle hair care products. It can be a slow process, but hair may recover with careful treatment and perseverance!
