That depends on the depth and type of the scars. With few types of peels and derma abrasions depth of the scars can be reduced.

I'm noticing that the skin on my penis has been feeling rough lately, and I've developed quite a few Fordyce spots. They aren't painful, but it's definitely uncomfortable for me. What can I do to soften the rough penile foreskin? Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my sister. She's currently 22 weeks and 4 days pregnant and recently had a viral fever. The fever's gone now, but she's experiencing some intense itching all over her body. The doctor mentioned it's a post-viral symptom, but she's been taking LCZ and using lacto calamine without any relief. What are some quick solutions or remedies she can try to ease the itching?

Consider adding an oral antihistamine like cetirizine or levocetirizine, and a topical cream like aloe vera gel or calamine lotion with 1% menthol, under medical guidance, to help alleviate itching, and also ensure your sister stays hydrated and avoids scratching to prevent infection.
