Itching can be relieved by applying Moisturiser to the affected area. There are also other methods such as applying wet cloth or ice packs to the effected area or applying Calamine lotion.

Question

Are acne scars permanent?

Question

I've been dealing with this annoying fungal infection on my back for about 6 months now, and I'm in the UAE. I'm using TRAVOCORT cream as the doctor recommended, and it seems to work for a few days, but then the itching and irritation come back. I've noticed the symptoms seem to get worse when I eat non-veg foods like chicken, fish, or mutton, which is really frustrating. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how I can get some relief? It's becoming really uncomfortable.

Question

I've been using Mintop 10 for beard growth on my face and I'm 22 years old. I'm a bit worried if there could be any issues with using it for a long time on my face. Could there be any side effects or problems I should know about?
