Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser.  Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.  
Best,

Thank you for you photo and question. Unfortunately it's difficult to tell from the photos what the bumps are that concern you.  I encourage you to visit with a dermatologist near you who can diagnose and treat them.

Hello, thank you for your question.It’s hard to tell in the photos but the bumps could be milia, sebaceous hyperplasia, or syringomas, among other possibilities. I would recommend that you consult with a board certified dermatologist first to rule out the exact nature/cause of these bumps. If they need to be surgically removed and you are concerned with scarring then you could consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Skin tag growths can appear anywhere on the skin, but they usually develop where the skin has been rubbing against skin, jewelry, or clothing for some time. Freezing using liquid nitrogen or snipping with a sharp blade are two common removal methods. Skin tags can also be burned off using cautery. Hope this helps.

Hi there,
Unfortunately, it's too difficult to evaluate with photos provided.  Possibly sebaceous hyperplasia but best to see a Dermatologist for proper evaluation.

Best of luck!
