Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am getting married soon and have had pimples for the past eight months, which have turned into scars. I wanted to remove those acne marks as there are only three months left for marriage. What are the possible ways to remove pimple marks? What are the treatment options available? How much would it cost? How much time will it take? What is the best solution to remove acne marks within two and a half months?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I think you are asking about post-acne pigmentation or post-inflammatory pigmentation. Targeting through a single agent might not always be fruitful. Please consult a dermatologist to learn more about the diagnosis and treatment options. A combination of different therapeutic agents is always beneficial. Q-switched Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet) LASER (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) is available for stubborn pigmentation and can be helpful when topical creams fail. A good skin care regimen comprises cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and sunblock. A dermatologist will recommend appropriate products based on your skin type,
