Question

I had chicken pox a couple of months back, and now I've noticed my scalp is really dry. Just today, I lost several hairs from the area where the pox marks were. I'm worried if the skin will eventually regenerate hair in that spot. Could this be a long-term issue?

Question

What are red dots on skin?

Question

I'm getting married in 20 days and I've noticed my ear piercing holes are really small. Most earrings don't fit through them. Is there a safe way to make the holes bigger, or should I consider getting new piercings? Would love some advice.

Question

I'm 21 and I'm really struggling with a lot of pimples and acne right now, which I think might be because of my body having too much internal heat. They're popping up around my nose, near my lips, on my forehead, and cheeks. The ones on my forehead are especially frustrating because they swell up but dont really have any seed or pus in them. Any advice on what might be causing this or how I can treat it?
