Avatar n tn It is best that you have this checked by a plastic surgeon or dermatologist for proper evaluation. Scar revision through surgery and laser treatments may be indicated. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn For such atrophy, apart from plastic surgery, laser resurfacing is also helpful. They can be safely and effectively resurfaced through the proper use of a high-energy, pulsed or scanned carbon dioxide (CO2) or Erbium-Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (Er:YAG) laser. 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.

Avatar m tn Hello, Dysplasia means change in the morphology of cells or an abnormality in development. This generally consists of an expansion of immature cells, with a corresponding decrease in the number and location of mature cells. It is the earliest form of pre-cancerous lesion and it has to be found out whether it is a low grade or high grade dysplasia or malignancy. I hope it helps.
Avatar m tn The treatment methods employed are cryotherapy with carbon dioxide (dry ice) or liquid nitrogen, electrodesiccation, electrodesiccation and curettage, curettage alone, shave biopsy or excision using a scalpel, or a laser or dermabrasion surgery. Sometimes keratolytic agents can also be applied but they are temporary treatments. For confirming the diagnosis, I suggest you to get it evaluated from a dermatologist. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Avatar n tn hi, I had surgery about a year ago for a pilonidal cyst. Everything apparently went fine, but suddenly about some 6 months now , even though in the beginning the wound closed by itself naturally it reopened again and I've been like this for about this time (6 months as I said). I cannot do anything because anything I do just hurts me. I can't play sports like I used to, I can't sit well without making it hurt.

Avatar f tn Laser surgery: A technique that involves using a beam of high-energy light to cut away the upper surface of the skin. The procedure is very precise, although the laser focus can be adjusted to resurface larger areas. It also stimulates both blood supply and collagen production - the support network for skin tissue. Just be aware that it can take about 10 months for collagen to regenerate, so don't expect to see the finished results until then.
Avatar n tn It only faded some and to this day looks like I got hit with a softball last week. Is there any laser or injection treatments I could get? Each Dr. says give it time, try compresses.
Avatar f tn “Bacteria push their way in, causing more chapping,” says dermatologist David Bank, of the Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic, and Laser Surgery in Mount Kisco, New York. Spread on a balm enhanced with antioxidants, like cranberries, to boost softness…and make sure it contains SPF. “Because your lips don’t have much melanin, they’re extremely susceptible to sun damage, even in winter,” stresses Dr. Bank. Pop the balm in your bag so you won’t lick your lips to moisten them later.
Avatar m tn Those with a knowledge of dermatology, urology or plastic surgery, what would be the best and safest way of lightening just the red raphe strip in the area highlighted above? Research suggests the best way would be with a bleaching agent much in the same way anal/vaginal bleaching is approached. Hydroquinone appears to be too dangerous; would kojic acid be better? I've heard that a TCA peel can work. I would apply the lightening agent using a q-tip I think.

Avatar f tn No questins here. I just had Laser surgery yesterday, performed by Dr. Vosoghi. I have been in his care for approximately one month and could not be more impressed. Demeanor is professional, chairsidemanner so kind, highly educated and knowledgable, and I do not think I could be in beter hands. If you need a specialist, and you are within traveling distance of his offices, I highly recommend him.
Avatar m tn Before doing anything drastic like laser or surgery, you might try the ointments or keeping the affected area covered for a while. Although they may take longer, they sound much less painful and expensive. If you know that the jelqing won't put more stress on the skin or scar tissue than you've used before, it doesn't sound like there should be a problem. Just don't hurt yourself.
