Can Laser Treatment Cure Marks Left By Cold Sores On My Lips?
hello, I get cold sore at least 3 times a yr when I am super stress. however, the skin on my lips and around my lips has gotten really dark making it very obvious. I have seen a dermatologist and they gave me creams to blemish the skin but nothing has help. I was wondering if laser can help.
Hello, Thanks for the query, Yes laser can be used to remove this pigmentation. NdYag LASER is best suited for this. Another option is use of chemical peels. Modality of treatment is decided based on the depth of pigmentation and the surface of skin. A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis. 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. Thank you
