Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I had a baby a year ago and had really bad acne. Well after I had him, this little cyst appear
Cyst on chest
Apr 1, 2016
It is hard to tell from the photo, but you may have developed an epidermal cyst or hypertrophic scar which will not go away without some type of intervention. For small lesions like yours, we often try injection with a steroid to shrink it down. Otherwise, you may need a small excision to remove the cyst completely. I recommend consultation with a board-certified dermatologist to determine the best option for you.
What would be the best treatment for my indented acne scars?
Treatment of Acne Scars
Mar 31, 2016
Acne scars can be approached with multiple modalities. Typically for the post inflammatory erythema (redness) of scars this can be addressed with a v-beam laser. For the textural change, we can use non-ablative lasers such as ResurFX, ablative resurfacing such as Active or DeepFX depending on the depth of the scars, microneedling with PRP, CROSS therapy, or subcision. I recommend you consult with a board-certified dermatologist experienced with these modalities to determine the best…
Are there doctors who treat acne, other than dermatologists?
Recurrent acne
Mar 26, 2016
Acne can definitely be a very difficult skin condition to control. Typically when acne flares post accutane treatment there is hormonal component to the acne. Also, from the photo showing the location along the jawline and lower face this is a classic distribution for hormonal acne. There are options to target this component including birth control pills or spironolactone. You may also need lab work to monitor your hormone levels. Other options include chemical peels, pulse dye laser, and…
What procedure can be suggested to remove a double chin besides Liposuction?
Treatments for Double chin
Mar 18, 2016
From the photo and your description it sounds like you would be an excellent candidate for Kybella. Kybella is a relatively new, FDA-approved, non-invasive method to treat localized fat in the submental area. It is an injectable medication of deoxycholic acid which permanently dissolves fat often requiring 2-4 treatments sessions to achieve the desired result. The CoolMini is another non-invasive option which destroys fat through cryolipolysis (freezing the fat). It is important to be seen…
Is tea tree oil good for age spots?
tea tree oil
Jan 5, 2016
Tea tree oil can have some antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects for various dermatologic conditions. Since age spots are generally the result of cumulative sun exposure, I have not seen tea tree oil have any effect for this condition. “Age spot” is an umbrella term for a variety of lesions that occur on the skin with time. Some of these spots are sun-induced and known as lentigines (similar to freckles and commonly referred as sun spots) while others such as…
Do I have an early stage of melanoma based on this mole?
mole
Dec 9, 2015
Hello and thank you for your question. It is difficult to tell from the photo you posted, but your description of asymmetry and multiple colors within the mole are 2 atypical features that warrant examination by a dermatologist. Typically, we educate our patients on the ABCDEs of melanoma which stands for Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter 6mm or greater and Evolution (any previous change in color, size, shape, etc.) I suggest making an appointment…
Best type of laser treatment for rosacea?
best laser for rosacea
Dec 6, 2015
The gold standard laser treatment for rosacea is the pulsed dye laser (PDL), also known as the V-beam. This laser selectively targets the blood vessels in the skin that lead to the persistent redness of rosacea. Other options include the KTP laser and IPL. Be sure to consult with an experienced board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon that is knowledgable in laser medicine to achieve the best results. Good luck! Dr. Caretti
