If an otherwise benign mole, but it is in the way of clothing or irrtated it can be covered by insurance for removal.

Does Cigna healthcare cover removal of a nickel sized, protruding mole on the back?

Accutane has the unique ability of stopping all the lesions we diagnose as acne. this includes comedones both open and closed and inflammatory lesions and cysts. It is a magical pill when used correctly to clear all the aspects and presentations of acne .

I started 30mg of accutane 2 weeks ago. I’ve developed a few cystic pimples since starting. My main concern is the closed comedones on my face. I have a lot. Will accutane push these all to the surface as whiteheads? Should I pop them?

It is best to not get elective surgical procedures done while on accutane. healing is affected and scarring is unpredictable it is best to wait dc

I got my belly button pierced about 2 years ago and I just started accutane about 4-5 months ago. my belly Botton piercing has been rejecting and I don't know what to do to help it. I told my dermatologist and I was prescribed creams but it isn't working.

Belly button piercing is rejecting after starting Accutane - what should I do?

It depends on the size and the color of the tattoo. if it is tiny a simple excision in a person that heals well is fine. However larger tattoos are best removed by laser. Remember when getting a tattoo that the darker colors such as black and green are easily removed by laser and the lighter colors are much more difficult .

Its small, barely bigger then my thumbnail, just below my collar bone! I have darker skin tone (indian) so i know thats a factor going against me for laser! Is there any chance at all i could get it completely removed without any scarring? Im not too worried about HYPO pigmentation, ive never experienced it when ive had burns or other injuries, however i do suffer from HYPERpigmention very often, really happens with any inflammation. Ive had my first session and cant see any yet though.

Preferably it would be best to wait for an elective procedure such as ear piercing while on accutane. healing can be impaired with the potential for a worse scar or even a keloid. I recommend to wait a few months after accutane as this is not a life or death procedure.

I would like to have a piercing in my ear, but can I do that if I use Accutane.

Can I get an ear piercing if I use Accutane?

Nodules after sculptra are not very common. In my practrice they occur in about 1/100 patients. They are not dangerous and almost never noticeable just palpable. They often resolve in a year or so and are a minimal side effect. why they occur sometimes is unclear, however they do and one should be aware so they do not panic if they get one .

Is it risky to have Sculptra injected in the temples? I am mostly concerned about nodules. And if they do form, when do they start appearing? (I've read that they can form years after the procedure?) Thanks!

Risk of nodules after Sculptra in temples?

Sculptra is a unique injectable that acts as a collagen stimulator not a filler. It tricks the skin into thinking you were injured and it caused a healing phenomenon. It is great for adding volume to skin . As we age there is a natural loss of volume that is predictable. Sculptra is slow but predictable with lasting results.

Hello, I am in my thirties and starting to notice some hollowing of the lower face. I'm primarily concerned about the nasolabial folds but I'm open to hearing different opinions about what might balance my profile. I would like to get my look refined before the holidays but want to do some research before altering my face. Your time and help is most appreciated. Thank you!

Really anyone with persistent or severe acne may be a candidate for Accutane. Accutane is one of the most effective therapies for clearing and maintaning clearance of stubborn and embarrasing acne. It is gerally a 5 month course and came be completed safely under the guidance of a dermatologist provider.

I’m at 26yo male that has suffered from acne on and off for 10 years or so. I have used many different topical treatments (differin, duac, dalacin T) and different oral antibiotics (lymecycline, tetracycline, doxycycline). They have worked but only very short term. My acne has had a major breakout and it’s at its worst it’s ever been. I break out mostly on my forehead and around my cheekbone on the right side of my face (see pictures). I am seeing a dermatologist in 2 weeks time.

Would I be eligible for Accutane? (photos)

we are often consulted to see a patient with a facial assymetry due to muscle imbalances in the face. By considering botox on the stronger side can create symmetry and a more even appearing face. Sometimes bells palsy will present in this way as an example.

Feel like my lips/muscles are hyperflexed on one side leading to an asymmetrical appearance? Would filler or botox work? (photo)
