Patient's Query

Hi,

I am a 21 year old male. I have some marks on my face and body since I recently had measles disease. How to get rid of these marks?

Answered by Dr. Meha Malhotra

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

  • Firstly were you diagnosed by a doctor for measles?
    • How many days has it been since the rashes subsided?
      • Generally, the marks lighten themselves within two months after the rashes subside.
        • So, treatment needs to be started after that.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
