Question 1

how to get rid of acne scars? i accidentally removed a pimple/acne and it left a mark. it's almost like skin. no more acne, just a dark spot/mark.

Accepted Answer

Dark spot: The hyperpigmentation after a pimple isn't a scar. It needs to fade on its own, which can take months. Don't mess with is -- skin bleaches are more likely to make a mess. I also see that you are on metformin for PCOS; your history of "breast cancer" is unusual in a 29 year old and perhaps you can discuss exactly what any biopsy or imaging showed with your own physician. Best wishes.

Question 2

how can i get rid of scar?

Accepted Answer

Laser Scar Removal: Using the latest laser technology, the beam of the laser penetrates the pores of the skin, smoothing the deep layers of the skin and improving the skin tone. Unless viewed under the microscope, the miniscule penetration of the laser is not visible to the naked eye. For this reason, there is a very short recovery time, results are immediate, and the skin will heal in a matter of 1 to 3 days.

Question 3

how can i get rid of my scars?

Accepted Answer

Options....: There are several.  It depends on where the scars are and how old they are.  Sometimes topical treatments may be beneficial.  More invasive options like dermabrasion, peels or scar revision may help depending on your situation.  Seek a (facial) plastic surgeon out for advice.

Question 4

how can i  get rid of dark scars?

Accepted Answer

Can be improved mayb: Scars can not be made to disappear. There are scar gels and creams that can improve the appearance of a scar that you already have. You can sometimes have a surgical scar revision, but this is just trading one scar for a new scar that should look better.

Question 5

how can i get rid of bug bite scars?

Accepted Answer

Bug Bite Scars: Some patients find the product Mederma to help in scar management.

Question 6

how can i get rid of my scars safely?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: Most of the scar "removal" cream like Mederma or laser is safe, however, its efficacy is hard to ascertain. Surgery can get rid of it, but it creates new scar. So, say "get-rid-of-it" is exaggerated. Unreachable goal.

Question 7

how can i get rid of this facial scar?

Accepted Answer

Facial scar: Scars are permanent. However they can be improved with surgery and resurfacing procedures.

Question 8

how can i get rid of scars from scratching too much?

Accepted Answer

Stop itch &skin care: First find the cause of the itching which can be quite a difficult endeavor. Second, stop itching by treating the primary problem whether it be idiopathic, psychological, a medication reaction or allergy, response to bug bites or noxious stimuli, etc. Third, avoid sun exposure. Fourth, silicone gel creams or sheets. Five, clip your nails. Six, consider derm or plastic evaluation for more extensive.

Question 9

how can i get rid of the scars that i have from cuts?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Depends on location and color of scar. If it is flat topical retinoids such as retin a (tretinoin) will slowly lighten color. If they are raised scars a pulse dye laser can flatten the scars. Depressed scars respond to fractionated co2 or erbium

Question 10

how can i get rid of the scars and stop them from happening?

Accepted Answer

Wish there was easy : Answer. Unfortunately there are no treatments to remove scars completely. As plastic surgeons we try to minimize their appearance. The only way to prevent scars is to avoid the trauma that is causing the scarring to begin with. If you have acne scars prevent the acne, burn scars-don't get burned. More easily said than done!
