To remove the scars left on your face, you can try using a topical cream containing silicone gel, such as Mederma. Apply a thin layer of Mederma on the scars twice a day for at least 8 weeks to see improvement. Additionally, you can consider using a vitamin E cream, like Derma E Vitamin E 12,000 IU Cream, to help with scar healing. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for best results.

I'm 21 and have been dealing with scabies for like 8 months now. I've tried a bunch of creams like permethrin and lindane, but nothing works anymore. The red bumps just keep coming back on my scrotum and penis after a few days of any treatment. Can you suggest something that could really fix this for good so it doesnt return again?

Question

I started feeling an itch on my testicles a couple of days ago and ended up rubbing the area quite a bit. Now there's a wound from the rubbing and it's pretty painful, especially when I move. What should I do about this? Is it something to be worried about or will it heal by itself?
