Suggest Ways To Prevent Acne Scars
Hello, Thanks for the query, Scar marks can be removed medically as well as surgically. Also LASERS are good in removing scars. The modality of treatment can be decided only after seeing the scar. A photograph would have helped me better. Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis. Let me know if you have any other doubt. you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link. http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-rahul-kumar/64818 Wishing you a good health.
