Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, it is better to be taken under supervision of a dermatologist as I said earlier too.

• These are usually tried first. It may be of help to some or at least stabilizes the progression.

• The time cannot be assured. If it does not respond other options like graft may be considered too.
