Hello Dr. I have ice pick scars and boxcar scars on my face like nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead and my skin is very sensitive, I am afraid of using creams and laser treatments. So instead of taking laser, fractional/fraxel laser, fractional co2, TCA chemical peeling, IPL treatment can I go for microneedling/dermapen or can I use dermaroller for ice pick scars and boxcar scars? Will needling and dermaroller helps in preventing scars? Will scars do completely disappear and do they produce new collagen and improve skin texture? And if I go with needling/derma roller what kind of cream do I need to apply after I use roller or needling? Will they have any side effects? If you advice me to go with needling/derma roller, suggest me best dermaroller? And please help me and suggest the best treatment process. Thank you.

1. Query no. 1: Can Use for Box Scar but not much helpful in ice pick scars but since you complain of pigmentation on face meet an expert in derma roller so that pigmentation may not increase 2. Query no. 2: depends on why there is pigmentaion only then treatment can be suggested.

Delaying operation for 9 months will not cause any problem ,but you will be suffering from pain (dysmenorrhea) and menorrhagia (increase bleeding) for 9 more months.
You can go for mirena insertion for the time being.

It depends on the cause of Elephantiasis. If it is due to Filariasis, then she can have recurrent lymphangitis and associated fever and leg pain. This can be prevented by taking a medicine called Banocide, once every 6 months. Please consult a general physician who can assess the condition and prescribe the correct dosage and duration of the medication.

Doing maturation is okay if you have sexual desire or arousal but don't waste too much of time as it will affect your time and future. Don't think superstars have good faces we are shown what director wants .eg Shahrukh khan has such an ugly face in reality but in films we all see their pseudo image. I will advise you to quit smoking and non veg for better skin and to ...more
