As for laser therapy, this may be of use also but look for a dermatologist with a good experience in terms of performing laser procedures. Laser therapy may burn skin and cause discolorations also. Bleaching creams may be used also but with close supervision as this may be abrasive.

It is rare in the US but still common in other countries like Mexico. Toxoplasmosis is nothing like a macular pucker. Can you recall ever being told what specifically caused the scar, or given a short list of possibilities? I suspect someone somewhere gave you a more specific diagnosis.

I do however agree in that there are many types of laser treatments, and that there could be one that could do the job, on top of this, I totally agree in that laser is less invasive than scar revision, by all means a better option (if it doesn't leave permanent burn marks). All I can say, if I chose laser, I would need to be very confident that the surgeon/specialist that is doing it has a lot of experience and knows what he is doing.

My 6 year old son has a large angioma on his cheek. It started out tiny but has grown to almost the size of a pencil eraser. We took him to a dermatologist & decided to get laser treatments in hopes of minimizing scarring. He had is his first laser treatment but so far it hasn't made a difference (a bit bumpier), in fact the angioma has only gotten worse/bigger.

Otherwise you can go in for glycolic peals, laser treatments and pressure dressings. Severe scarrings may need skin grafting by a plastic surgeon. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

i was born in manila, philippines. i dont know if tb is prevalent when i was a baby but im pretty sure that 1 of the programs by our dept of health is on immunization which includes bcg. thanks 4 answering anyway. :) maybe i didn't really recieve it at all.

Of course laser scar removal can be used on the genitals to treat scars since laser removal is commonly used in removing warts caused by HPV. From my personal experience, laser therapy is not bad at all and involves very little pain after a session of laser treatment although the pain might be a little annoying when the treatment begins (it feels like bacon grease that occasionally splashes up and hits you in the wrist when you're cooking; nothing too painful).

i just resigned myself that I have to put up with scar tissue for 5 months in order to have better sight. How normal is scar tissue after cataract surgery? why can't he take the scar tissue out now instead of waiting 5 months?

The rest of my shaft is some-what dark, so this spot-scar stands out TO ME, and is inappropriately but frequently bothersome. Well I just want to know if this lighter circle will ever fade back to my normal skin tone?

m just quit anxious about my appointment and I wad also wondering if the optometrist can do laser surgery and if I do have laser surgery how long would it take to build scar tissue and would it be safe to go on rides?
