I have holes on my skin – small ones that were caused by acne, as well as darker acne scars. Will laser resurfacing be the right treatment to address these problems?
I have very dark underarms. I was wondering if there are any treatments that I could seek that can help lighten the skin in this area? Can you please tell me what my options are?

A few years ago I had an accident with a horse and I was kicked in the face, which has left me with a very prominent scar (in a straight line) between my eyebrows. Is it possible to treat this scar and get rid of it?

I recently sought treatment for facial pigmentation from a dermatologist (I was prescribed a lotion), but I feel that my skin is worse now than it was before – more pigmentation has appeared.
I used to be fair but in the last six years (since moving to a hotter place), I feel that I have tanned considerably and am now much darker than before. Is there a way to reduce this darker look that I have developed?

I would like to know what is the difference between microdermabrasion and microneedling in regard to facial scar treatment such as for acne scars, chicken pox scars and enlarged pores?

I am 18 years old, and used to have clear beautiful skin. Recently, my skin has become oily and I have acne on my cheeks that are red in colour. I didn’t change my facial cleanser during this time, but I did change to another facial cleanser that was recommended by my friends, after seeing that my acne wasn’t clearing up. My skin cleared a little bit, but now I’m faced with the problem of scars, and my cheeks are always bright red. Am I using the wrong products?

My two-year-old son recently suffered a cut (about two inches long) on the forehead. The stitches were removed by the plastic surgeon, but there is a scar left behind. Is this scar going to be there forever? What can I do to get rid of it or at least reduce the scar somewhat?

I’m 25 years old and have had dark circles around my eyes since my teens. These dark circles get darker when I stay up too late, but take days of lots of sleep before they appear lighter. I am very bothered by this and was wondering if there are any laser treatments that can address this problem. How much would the treatment cost? What does the treatment involve and how long will the results last?

I recently experienced a bad bout of acne and am left with dark marks from this. Someone was telling me that these are not scars and to treat it would be different than how one would treat scars. How do I treat these dark spots and how long before they lighten or go away?

I have a lot of blackheads on my nose. I’m not sure if I trust a beautician to extract them, as I am concerned about hygiene. Is there a way to treat these blackheads on my own or should I see a dermatologist for this? What would getting rid of the blackheads involve?

I have small bumps on the back of my arms that look like ingrown hairs. I do not wax my arms. What are these and why do I have them? I also have dark spots where some bumps once were – is there a way to treat this? I have a friend who waxes her arms and she has the same problem as well.

If I undergo rhinoplasty (with a silicone nose implant) and reduction of the wings of my nose, would I still have obvious swelling and bruising after a week?
I have a very prominent mole on my face that I would like removed. It is a protruding black mole at the corner of my eye. How do I get rid of it? Is the procedure painful?
I am a 20-year-old Indian lady with lots of facial hair. I would like to seek permanent hair removal and was wondering which is the best treatment option for me? What will the procedure involve and are there any risks? Also, how much does a treatment like this cost and how many sessions will I require?

I was down with chickenpox about a month ago. It was pretty severe especially on my face and the upper part of my body. I used Neem soap and followed all traditional advice accordingly. I am left with scars from this experience – some have left shallow holes. I didn't scratch or pick any of the lesions. Will these scars ever go away or are there any dermatological treatments I can seek?

I have acne all over my body. The acne and scars are quite bad and I would like to get rid of them. I believe that scar removal or a skin peel is available at most hospitals. Please recommend what treatment I should have and how much it generally costs. I want to be acne and scar free on both my face and body!
S.S.
I have a very ugly scar on one leg, as well as uneven skin tone on both legs; I feel sad when I see other people wearing shorts or a mini-skirt because I can't. Could you please give me some advice on what I can do about this problem?

I have open pores on my nose and cheeks. Please let me know what treatments can help to reduce open pores.
