I've got this chicken pox scar on the right side of my forehead that's pigmented and a bit deep. I really want it to match the rest of my skin, even if the depth stays the same. Would it be possible to get rid of the pigmentation so it looks like my normal skin color? I'm open to the idea of a small surgery if that's what it takes. Could you give me some advice on this?

For the pigmented scar on your forehead, you can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone to help lighten the pigmentation. Additionally, you may benefit from laser therapy such as PicoSure or Fraxel to further improve the appearance of the scar. In some cases, a dermatologist may recommend a chemical peel to help reduce the pigmentation. It's important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment option for your specific scar.

I'm not currently taking any medicine for herpes, but I'm wondering if I should start some kind of treatment. Could you give me some advice on whether treatment is necessary or any possible next steps? I'm really looking for guidance here.

I'm waking up every morning with this itchy feeling all over my body, and I'm even getting mild hives. It's really strange because I've never had any skin allergies before, so I'm curious about what could be causing this. It's pretty frustrating, and I'm starting to worry. Can you tell me what's going on and what might help?

The itchy skin and mild hives, particularly in the morning, could be due to dry skin, environmental factors, stress, hormonal changes, or skin conditions like eczema or urticaria, so consult a dermatologist to determine the underlying cause and develop a treatment plan.
