Hey Doc, I got a tattoo of my ex’s name on my arm when I was college. I realised now it's a big mistake. Now I want it gone, but I’ve heard tattoo removal can be painful and it is not always effective. Can you please explain how many sessions I might need? Is it safe to get it removed? Should I modify it or will I need a surgery? I want to know if there will be any permanent marks or side effects after the removal. I have sensitive skin, so I’m a bit worried.

Ans: If your tattoo is black & White, lasers can fully take it off in about 8-10 sessions.

If it is coloured, it is best to go for a surgery if possible.

There are other innovative methods to take of residual tattoo or scars by doing a different tattoo on the residual scar or tattoo.

Please see a specialist who has lasers if ur tatoo is black & white or see a plastic surgeon if it is coloured

Mr Sarvesh, can medical students or doctors have tattoo? What issues can they face during internships?

Ans: I have not come across any case where having a tattoo stopped anyone from getting or doing an internship. Of course, an internship is a professional work place and I hope you are dressing accordingly - as long as that is happening; it should be OK to have tattoos.

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.

Hi I just don’t understand my husband thoughts and thinking process recently he got my name tattooed which he asked numerous times I told that dislike tattoos but eventually he got it what should be my reaction, my reaction was first to check whether it was new syringe and whether it was safe I don't know what to tell him I didn’t feel happy for what he done but at the same time I don’t want him to feel bad for what he had done so what to do

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Well, he's doing this for a reason. Maybe his way of showing that you are important to him?
At times, we do not understand the other person's language of love; what we can do is accept them for how and who they are. Yes, you do not appreciate what your husband has done, but can you just think that it was done as an act of love for you? Maybe then, you can see the entire episode as not anything against you BUT actually for you.

All the best!

Relationship

Hi I am 34 year old male and want to settle down but also in doubt that the marriage will take my independence. I started looking for bride with arrange marriage option. I am taking to a girl for last 3-4 months 2 time a week. I never had any serious relationship before and don't know what exactly to lookout in marriage. The girl I am seeing has average looks and physique but she okay with conversation and little shy and majority of the conversation I have only started. Her weight or BMI is very low around 19 and my BMI is overweight above 26. There is different in 45-50 kgs in weight. Am I working too much about physical appearance and should I interact with other prospects also. I have meet with her family along with my parent two times and little worried that more meeting will led to frustration if marriage didn't materialize. I have also left my current job and taking some break before joining new one. Will this career break will impact my marriage prospects. Also sometimes I feel that I may have set my standards very high as I am well educated from good institute and I can explore many options before choosing one. Is this leading me to non commitment as I may find some fault to not commit to marriage.

Ans: too many questions...in summary - education and being in a relationship are 2 different things - for a detailed conversation you may google me and schedule an interaction to discuss.
