I have always had sensitive skin and living in Africa i got bitten by a lot of insects especially mosquitoes and when these bites heal they do not vanish but instead turn into dark large spots. I have these very prominent dark spots all over my legs and arms and being fifteen i have never been able to show them in publlc. I am searching for an effective and permanent solution for this. What can i do?

Either a scar revision which cuts the scar out and replaces it with a more delicate scar or permanent makeup (essentially a medical-grade tattoo) will typically reduce the prominence of a lip scar. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS
Ear piercing after keloid resection is possible, but only recommended in select cases. I would recommend a careful evaluation and assessment of risk.
There are many treatments available to reduce or remove scar tissue. A consultation or at least photos would be required to let you know which is most appropriate in your case. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS
