Two problems on my nose. How can I treat the Sebaceous Hyperlasia without using Accutane(Derm offered it, but I refused)? What can I do about the raised scars? These scars have a psychological impact on me. One is 3 months old and other is 12 years old. My dermatologist (5 years practice) won't help me much more. He just gave me medication to treat acne. I live in southern tip of Texas and can't find an experienced dermatologist who could treat these problems.

The fractionated laser treats a fraction of the skin (with tiny areas of normal skin left in between) and takes about 5 days to heal. A board certified Dermatologist who specializes in laser surgery would be the physician to talk to regarding your treatment. ... more
