Doctor, my younger sister, who is 14 years old, had an accident in the kitchen a few months ago and suffered second-degree burns on her arm and shoulder. While her wounds have healed, the scars are still very visible, and it’s starting to affect her confidence. She avoids wearing sleeveless clothes and feels conscious even around close family members. Can burn marks be fixed with cosmetic surgery? She is only 14 now. Will it completely remove the scars? Will it be a painful surgery?

Ans: Yes, the burn marks can be made better with cosmetic surgery. But we may not be able to get absolutely normal skin in most cases.
Only after a physical consultation, a proper comment can be made.

Sir, I have always had skin issues as a teenager. I have tried all kinds of treatment and medication. I want to know if my acne marks can be cured permanently through cosmetic surgery. What will be the approx cost of surgery. Also, what will be the side effects?

Ans: Yes, There are treatments to decrease the acne marks. They may not completely go, but they can be made much less visible.

My daughter is 17 years old. She is dealing with several skin issues like pimples, acne, pigmentation, dark spots, and tanning on her face and back. Could you please advise me on what steps I should take to address these problems? Thank you in advance.

Ans: Usually at this age, these problems come. But a combination of many such issues as elaborated by you means that she may need lifestyle changes like avoiding fast food, using sun protection, decreasing stress and sound sleep.

Doctor, my daughter is 22 years old, and she was born with a cleft lip that was operated on when she was a baby. The surgery went well, but there’s still a faint scar and some asymmetry that becomes noticeable in photos or under makeup. We’re now planning for her wedding, so she’s feeling very self-conscious about her appearance. Is there anything that can be done at this stage to improve the appearance of her lip? Are there advanced treatments or minor surgeries available that could help smooth the scar or create better balance? Because of the wedding, we are on a tight budget. Can you suggest options that might work for us, both in terms of cost and recovery time? We want her to look her best and be happy on her big day.

Ans: There are options of scar correction, but we must check whether the result after such correction will be better than a FAINT scar.

I'm a bsc botany graduate and now got admission and doing msc. I'm in first year and just gave my 1st semester exam but somehow now i feel i can't do botany at all its not just in my interest. I can't continue further with it as i dont think there's much scope too. I have interest in fields like geography or law related subjects. I'll be attempting for upsc too this year and also had a second thought to go for Law. Should i drop the msc? ....I've cried a lot thinking about that and its affecting my mental health too.

Ans: Hello dear.
First I would like to suggest that, in any way, you first complete your M.Sc. (Botnay) either with interest or without interest. Who told you that there is less scope in Botany? There are a lot of career options after M.Sc. (Botany).It is good that you are interested in geography and are attempting UPSC this year. Dear, along with your M.Sc. you can easily appear for UPSC and do the study of Geography, after completing your M.Sc. you can take the admission to Law course. Many people do the law even after their retirement or in due course of their service. There is no need to cry about the things which happened to you.
Suggestions: (1) Completer M.Sc. (Botany) by any means (2) Space-time to read Geography and UPSC Syllabus (3) Develop your overall personality and try to engage in some extracurricular activities of your interest.
Best of luck for your upcoming bright future.

Hi, I am a new investor 41 yrs old, so far10L invested in various MF categories. Here are list of investments through SIP’sand lumpsum: 20K in Nippon Large Cap, 15K in Quant Mid cap 15K in ICICI Pru multi asset 15K in Parag Parekh flexi cap 15K in Edleweiss small cap 1L lumpsum in Motilal Oswal mid small Healthcare index fund 2L lumpsum in ICICI Pru all season bond fund 12.5K/month in PPF Can I achieve my retirement goals, both child education (9 yrs old & 5 months old), marriage etc. and is there a need to balance my portfolio. Also is there any need me to consider in other investments options.

Ans: Hello;

Your current lumpsum and monthly investment into mutual funds may be adequate to meet the education and marriage requirement of your kids. (~2 Cr)

Apart from that it may provide a retirement corpus (~5 Cr).

If you have a female kid invest in SSY(12.5 K per month) since the interest is more then PPF and other benefits are similar only with different withdrawal stage.

Also you may supplement your retirement planning through NPS (~20 K per month).

Review performance of your funds annually with reference to the category average and benchmark.

I am 48 , Income: Take home 2.5 L / pm , PPF amount 47 L , NPS - 20 L , FD- 37 L , Life Insurance - 80 L, Expenses 75 k /pm . Please advice me a plan for 2 L income / pm from 2036.

Ans: Hello;

You may need a corpus of 6 Cr to generate a post-tax monthly income of 2 L+. (Assuming 6% annuity rate and 30% tax)

Assuming your existing investment stay and continue till 2035(PPF, NPS, FD) it may grow into a cumulative corpus of 2.93 Cr.(12.5 K pm into PPF+47 L @ 6.9%, 20 K pm into NPS+20 L @ 8%, FD of 37 L @ 7.4%)

So you need to fill the gap of (6-2.93=3.07 Cr) through monthly sip.

You may begin with a monthly sip of 1 L into a combination of pure equity mutual funds and step it up each year by a minimum of 3% to reach your target in 11 years.

Here the assumption is that you have term life insurance of 80 L with no maturity value.

If it's an endowment policy then assuming maturity value of 80 L you may attain your target with a flat monthly sip of 83 K into a combination of pure equity mutual funds.

Make sure to move your gains from equity funds into liquid funds as you approach closer to your retirement to avoid it getting affected by market volatility.

Money

Hi Sir, I have following MF in my portfolio HDFC mid-cap Opportunity fund - 16.39lac ICICI Pru Large&Mid cap Fund - 9.96lac Nippon India large Cap fund - 10.15lac Nippon india small cap fund - 9.4lac ICICI pru Value discovery fund -9.35lac JM Flexicap fund - 7.39lac ICICI pru infrastructure fund 7.29lac HDFC large and mid cap fund - 6.29lac SBI long term equity fund - 4lac Motilal oswal midcap fund-25k In total 83lac. Please advise whether I can generate 75k per month income from the investment. Thank you in advance

Ans: Dear Ashok, Yes, you can generate ?75,000/month from your ?83 lakh investment portfolio with an average return of around 10-12% per year. Consider using SWP from your equity funds and rebalancing the portfolio to incorporate some safer, income-generating investments like debt funds for stability. Causion is if the returns goes below 12% in any of the Quarters your capital may deplete. and then you might have to reduce withdrawal. Suggesion is that withdraw 6% return only or increase your investments to 1.5 CR sothat your withdrawals exceed your rise in MF amount and your Capital is always protected.

Money

Dear sir, I have completed 8.7months and withdrawn the PF amount. But I have received the certificate from pension authority. Can I get the pension by submitting the certificate at EPFO office or I have to withdraw the money. What to do. Please guide

Ans: For eligibility under the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS), the minimum service requirement is 10 years of service. Unfortunately, with 8 years and 7 months of service, you do not meet the minimum 10-year requirement to be eligible for a monthly pension.
if you have withdrawn the PF amount, check whether your previous employment details were also included, if yes, then you may be eligible for EPS as your services cross 10 years. in that case, you can submit the request for eps pension.
