Hello, Yes, it is possible to removed the nail scratch on face scar through Laser, or scar reduction. With a laser, scars can be lessened significantly and possibly erased, depending on their severity. There are three main types of scar removal laser treatments available for how to get rid of nail scratches on skin:
Laser resurfacing: In this treatment, dermatologists use a high-powered laser to remove the top layer of skin that has been scarred.
Fractionated laser resurfacing: This precise laser therapy uses tiny beams of light that penetrate deeply into the skin.
Non-ablative laser resurfacing: Dermatologists use infrared skin lasers to heat the inner layers of the skin while leaving the surface untouched.
So, if you're looking for how to remove scratch marks from face, we recommend you to visit your nearest Dermatologist and only after a proper physical examination, complete treatment will be provided. I hope this answers your query. You can find them on our page - Dermatologists in India.

Consult a dermatologist for the best approach to remove old cut marks on the face. Options may include laser therapy, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion. Topical treatments with retinoids, vitamin C, or silicone may help. Sun protection is crucial to prevent further pigmentation. More invasive procedures like microneedling or scar revision should be discussed with a healthcare professional. Always prioritize professional guidance for safe and effective results.

Good afternoon. I am Subhankar Sir/mam The skin on my testicles is peeling off. There is some white coloured powder or it smells. Sometimes it itches too.

Male | 20

You likely have a fungus on your testicle. The symptoms you have mentioned like the peeling of skin, white substance, and smell, along with itching, appear to be a normal fungal infection. They may be caused by the lack of hygiene or tight clothes. This can be solved by keeping a dry and clean environment, wearing loose clothes, and using a pharmacist-recommended antifungal cream.

Taking care of your skin is not very complex; just following the simple steps of a daily skincare routine can give you the best results. Wash your face with mild cleansers twice a day, moisturize your face daily, and use sunscreen as sun protection is paramount. For clear and healthy skin, make an appointment with a dermatologist.

I have skin problem,I had pimples on face and chest for long time

Female | 22

Getting pimples on your face and chest is quite annoying. Those red bumps often occur when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. This happens if your body produces excessive oil. Wash your skin gently using a mild soap to keep it clean. You could try using over-the-counter acne products with benzoyl peroxide to help clear up the pimples. If the issue persists, visit a dermatologist.

I am 30 years old , I started developing some kind of swollen spot on my penis about 5 different spots and it itches me so much all day

Male | 30

These appearing spots might be due to a rash-like condition called Contact Dermatitis or may even occur as an infection like Folliculitis. The first thing you can do is keep the affected area moisturized and dry in case there is a significant amount of this. However, to be sure, these spots must be seen by a dermatologist to be able to give the appropriate treatment.

It may be because of hormonal or nutrition deficiency. Did you change anything recently in your diet? You should include protien and iron rich food in your diet.

I have got red tiny tiny spots on my arch of the foot

Female | 23

You might be dealing with petechiae– tiny red spots caused by small bleeds under the skin. These can show up when you have been, say, pushing too hard while on the toilet. Certain infections and some meds can also produce them. To get rid of petechiae hang loose, put your feet up often, and wear loose well-fitting shoes. In case these suggestions don’t help or other things are bothering you… get in touch with a dermatologist.

You may have contact dermatitis, an issue due to wearing shoes for extended periods. Red spots, bumps, pain, and sensitivity characterize this condition. Wearing comfortable footwear may help.

I have suspected genital herpes and had a 5 day course of Aciclovir which finished about 12 days ago. It was improving but I can feel another sore coming. Is this a new outbreak or oart of the same outbreak and do I take another course of Aciclovir?

Female | 30

An old sore and a new one on the genital area may be part of the same outbreak. It is strongly advised that you get a dermatologist’s or a sexually transmitted infections specialist’s opinion for a proper diagnosis. They could evaluate your situation and see if Aciclovir is still a good therapeutic option or not.

Acne is common, causing pimples and oily skin. Hair follicles get blocked with oil and dead skin cells. You can try soap with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. These ingredients unplug pores and reduce acne. Gently wash your face, avoid harsh scrubbing.

I am a 24 year old girl who has undergone culture test frequently and taken medication but I’m still itchy In my perineum and it looks whitish . I’ve also applied steroid creams. Today I came back from a long trip and my liner was soaked with discharge and some of it looks like chunky cheese

Female | 24

It appears that you could be dealing with a yeast infection. Yeast is a type of germ that can cause itching, white discharge and sometimes looks like chunky cheese. Taking antibiotics or wearing tight clothes can sometimes cause yeast infections. You can try using over-the-counter antifungal creams for a few weeks to see if it helps. In addition, wearing loose cotton clothes and avoiding scented products in that area may also help. If the condition persists, you can visit a dermatologist.

Skin issue having red rash like acne on chest and scalp

Male | 35

It seems like you might have a common condition called acne. Acne can appear as red pimples or a rash on your chest and head. It occurs when hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. Hormones or bacteria may also play a role in its development. To make things better, try mild cleansers and don’t pick at or squeeze the pimples. If it’s bothering you, see a dermatologist who can give you advice tailored just for you.
