Question

I'm dealing with this really annoying itching on my hips, and now I've noticed it's causing some black spots to appear. It's not just staying in one place eitherseems like it's slowly spreading across my hips. What could this be, and what should I do about it? I'm a bit worried and would love some advice.

Question

My wife came down with chicken pox back in late November, and we noticed the pox marks are fading, but it's happening really slowly. I'm starting to worry since it's been over two months now, and I'm not sure if these marks are ever going to completely disappear. Should we see a doctor about this, or is it better to just keep using coconut oil and let things heal naturally? We're just a bit concerned and would appreciate some guidance on what to do next.

Question

I've been diagnosed with rosacea about 5 months ago and I've been using lacto calamine lotion. The past few days I started putting coconut oil on at night because my skin gets pretty dry. My skin feels soft and there aren't any flakes, but I still get a few red patches when it's really humid. It's got me feeling pretty down and I'm wondering if I should just stick with what I'm doing. Also, does rosacea ever go away? I feel really depressed over this. What do you think?

Question

I've heard a lot about using alum for lightening facial hair, but I'm wondering if it's actually effective. Does it really make the hair less visible? Also, what should I be aware of in terms of benefits and drawbacks if I decide to try it out?
