I've been using aloe vera on my face and now it's burning with rashes and redness showing up. I've got an event in two days, so I'm really hoping for a quick fix. Any advice on how to recover fast?

To quickly recover from the adverse reaction to aloe vera, try these remedies: immediately wash your face with cold water and a mild soap, apply a cool, wet compress or an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to reduce burning and redness, use a topical hydrocortisone cream (0.5-1%) to calm the skin, take an oral antihistamine like diphenhydramine to reduce itching and inflammation, and apply a soothing moisturizer, like coconut oil or aloe vera-free lotion, to help calm the skin; for faster recover

I've woken up the past two mornings with these red, itchy bumps on the right side of my neck and right hand, kind of like insect bites. They're nowhere else on my body. I stopped using a fan while sleeping recently. Could these be mosquito bites or something else? What should I use to treat them?

Is there a way to naturally lighten or brighten my skin tone without going for treatments like laser or chemical peels? I'm looking for safer options that don't involve surgery

laser is advised.

I'm 26 and my skin is really dry. I've noticed some wrinkles and nasolabial folds appearing, which seem quite noticeable now. I want to avoid filler injections, so I'm looking for ways to improve my skin with just medicines and external treatments like oils, creams, and moisturizers. I already switched from soap to a Nivea body wash, and from using Clean & Clear facewash to an AHA facewash. Lately, I've been using Aquastop sunscreen. I'm also trying a lemon sugar scrub for my dry skin and wrinkles and then applying a thick layer of castor oil. I've been doing this for about five days. Am I on the right track with this routine? Are there any specific creams, moisturizers, or serums that could help make my skin look more radiant and address these issues?
