Avatar f tn Hi, I had a mole on my face and I did a mole excursion, a small brown spot grew back, and I did a mole laser removal surgery to get it remove. However after the laser removal surgery, my mole is not disorted and grown, it doesn't seem to be a tissue scar cause it is dark brown and a raiser lump has occurred. Is this an indication of something? Can I get mole removal again using laser or excision or it would keep coming back? Thanks!
Avatar f tn It depends on how bad the scars are. If they are deep or raised (keloid) then cosmetic surgery with with radiation treatments is an option. It should be a last resort though. I'd try laser treatments first. If that doesn't work, talk with your doctor about possible scar revision surgery. Just remember, that it will still leave a scar. You can't get away with no scar at all. Another option is to get a tattoo to cover your scars. Just a few things to think about.

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 f tn Does anyone know of ways to get rid of the tissue or any natural therapies that will at least make it possible to have sex without extreme pain?

Avatar n tn I have a scar on my face and I had a scar removal incision done on it to reduce the appearance of the scar about 2-3 years ago. however, it is STILL red and the apperance i believe have gotten worse than it was prior to the surgery. when wil the redness go away?
Avatar n tn There appears to be more research on scar revision surgery drugs that could improve the prospects of surgery.. In one article I read botox helps to diminish scar formation after revision, as it paralizes the muscles, making sure body motion does not affect the healing process. Another drug, avotermin might be of use in the future.. (there are several links with info about this drug if you google it) http://www.upi.
Avatar m tn 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).
Avatar m tn Hi, A scar is an overgrowth of fibrous tissue and blood vessels that form as a result of injury, a cut or a burn. Sometimes surgery may be required to improve the scar. In this case, the surgeon will remove excess scar tissue, and reposition the incision so that it heals in a less visible pattern. This scar removal surgery is usually done under local or general anesthesia in the doctor's office.
Avatar m tn Hello everybody, After surgical mucocele removal, I developed what is thought to be a lower lip neuroma, constant pain, swelling scar. Already attempted laser repair surgery, where the neuroma and scar tissue were removed. After 6 months everything was reformed as before, same pain etc. I was told that the only solution could be cortisone or botulinum toxin injections I wonder, is there no way to know if there is actual nerve damage?
Avatar n tn i understand that the best tthing to do would be to come to terms with it and find someone that can accept it as well but im only 23 and i wanna be able to have fun and not be concerned with such a small imperfection i was watching videos on laser scar removal and the resaults were very good and im sure that it would clear up my situation but what i was wonder is if were even possable to treat that area of the body with laser or if there were any other options for scar removal in that area id be
Avatar m tn Various methods used for mole removal are excision and cauterization. Although laser removal has been tried for moles, it is not usually the method of choice for most deep moles because the laser light doesn't penetrate deeply enough. You can get this mole evaluated from a dermatologist and get it evaluated. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar m tn Is there anything i can do to fade the scar? Removal of the scar completely is ideal, but surgery is expensive and couldn't that just make another scar? I could use some help.
Avatar n tn 2006 Verisyse lens, and iridectomy. Current diagnose with cataract. 2006 unsuccessful laser floater surgery. Thick cornea. • My right eye is filled with multiple floaters, and the vitreous is extremely cloudy, weiss ring. Although if necessary with eye movement I can read an eye chart 20/20. Floaters do not bother me, but the cloudy vitreous makes simple functions, tv, pc, and reading challenging.
Avatar m tn ve had a series of surgeries (buckle, gas bubble, silicone oil, laser, etc.). I developed a cataract and some scar tissue due to the multiple surgeries. The scar tissue that was on the retina has some how detached and is now floating around in my eye. My surgeon has suggested that we remove the cataract and suction out the scar tissue at the same time. Will this cause the retina to detach again? WIll the scar tissue floating around cause an issue?
Avatar f tn s been to doctors and had laser treatment to reduce the scar tissue but nothing seems to work. Do you think laser hair removal would help? It is extremely painful and embarassing for him & I would like to help find a solution for him. Any suggestions?
Avatar m tn Doctors in Poland are recommending to remove it by surgery(so they can test it afterwards), but I would love to avoid a scar. Do you think that removing it with laser is very risky? Some doctor told me that I can take corticosteroids injection and maybe it will help. Do you think it’s safe to inject corticosteroids on face? I’m not sure what are the consequences. What do you think? Photos can be found here: https://ibb.co/geWe4J https://ibb.
Avatar m tn I reached puberty a few years ago and a few hairs started to grow out of the scar, so i keep shaving the hairs off, im not too woried about the hairs as i will buy a laser hair removal kit when i move out of my parents house, to avoid embarasment. I want to know how i got this scar and if there is anything that will reduce its look. I have a theory that my penis might of been stuck to my scrotum when i was born and a doctor cut the skin connecting the two, could this be true?
Avatar m tn IF the scar is interfering with vision, sometimes a rigid lens may be used to smooth the cornea and allow vision. Other options for the scar include surgical removal with a laser if it is superficial or if it is deep, a corneal transplant may enable clear cornea. Speak with your doctor about the best options given its appearance for improving vision. Dr. Feldman Sandy T. Feldman, M.D., M.S.
Avatar f tn However he said it is far from the laser scar and he will monitor it. I want to know if its ok because these are not affecting my vision or pressure at all. I am very tired of needles and offs from work. Please advice! Thank you!
Avatar m tn True scars don't change that quickly. Perhaps he/she is using "scar" when a better term would be opacity. In any case laser scar removal is done only after the eye is quiet and infection/inflammation free and only works if the scar is on the superficial layers (it will not treat very deep scars).
Avatar m tn it left lots of scar on my face. i am worried about these scar. i want to remove these chicken pox scar from my face. i went to a dermatologist he told me about laser treatment. please suggest me what treatment is best for chicken pox scars.
Avatar n tn freezing and steroid injections; surgery plus radiation therapy; laser therapy and other injectable agents, such as interferon alpha and gamma. Surgical removal of keloids may lead to the keloid coming back larger than it was before the excision. It is difficult to comment on the authenticity of the website you mentioned. It would help if you can talk to someone who actually have experienced their services or if you contact their office. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn From your description, I think the bag you are referring to is the posterior capsule or the back of the lens capsule which is left in place after cataract surgery. This often gets cloudy and requires a 5 minute laser procedure to create a opening to enable light to enter the eye. Retinal detachment is a possibility but not common following this procedure.
Avatar f tn I got burn while taking treatment for Laser hair removal...they have discoloration and one blistering which popped...does they leave permanent scar or its curable...what medication and care to be taken (moisturiser??
1116823 tn?1303072844 But this procedure left a scar, and I had surgery done about a month ago, to remove this scar. Now, that scar has been removed, but the skin did not heal properly. One side of the skin did not attach with the other side of skin, so there's a deep gash left in between. When I bring this skin together it looks perfect, but when it's separated, it looks very bad. So, is there a way to attach this skin together..? I have uploaded pictures in my album..
