Dear gunjan, Do not worry i understand at 23, life seems disastrous with scars but with time, these scars will get better. Having said that, please note all scars need to be evaluated by treating cosmetologist/dermatologist & different plans need to be drawn up depending on the type of scar, pigmentation etc. As you are a medical student, please approach your dermatology professor/lecturer & am sure they will do the best for you. Alternatively, you are most welcome to send me photographs of your predicament & can see what best i can recommend for you & the actual treatment can be done by some cosmetologist close to your port of residence with your parents' approval et al. A healthy splash of an aloevera cream liberally on your skin daily will help in the long run & make sure to hydrate well both internally & externally. Regds & hope it turns out well soon for you & the glow returns to your skin. Dr Praveen Rodrigues MD Dermatologist & Cosmetologist, Bangalore, India
