Medicine cannot cure anything; it can only help while the body marshals its own curative powers or, if those have been burnt through/damaged beyond help, it might make us a bit more comfortable. Botox cures wrinkles too. Meanwhile, anyone needing a dermatologist in my area has a heck of a long wait because cosmetic procedures pay more than legit skin problems. My husband had to be operated on to have suspicious skin lesions taken off by a general surgeon instead.
