How do I get rid of sebaceous filaments on my nose and chin (photo)?

Doctor's Answers 1

Hi!

You could start using tretinoin or differin applied topically at night. This will take some time to improve the appearance but it works.

On the other hand, if you are looking for faster results, you can also get them extracted by a professional facial therapist that is experienced in such extraction.

Hope this helps!

What are the costs of treatment for getting rid of chicken pox scars?

Depressed chicken pox scars are due to the defect in collagen during the healing process and the formation of scar bands tethering the scar resulting in more obvious scar defect. Treatment options available: 1) Scar subcision together with Rejuran S. Subcision releases and frees the scar bands from tethering the skin and allows the scar to lift partially. The further injection of Rejuran S into the scar area while performing subcision allows the the scar area to heal and lift more effectively as collagen formation occurs in the treated area.

Are cortisone shots, tretinoin and patience the only way to get rid of nodular acne and improve skincare? (photo)

Nodulocystic acne can be a very frustrating problem, especially if it recurrent, as it presents with painful, red nodules on the face. Intralesional steroid injection is a 'quick fix' for nodular cystic acne as this helps to settle down the inflammation quickly and reduce the size of the cysts and the improvement can be seen within days of the injection. As nodulocystic acne can often be recurrent, oral systemic treatment with antibiotics or oral isotretinoin is often needed to control the cystic acne and prevent the recurrence of the acne.
