Is honey good for pimples?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Honey has natural antibacterial properties that can soothe inflammed acne. But natural isn't always safe when it comes to skincare. Do a patch test before trying.

View allI'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.

My eyes look sunken with dark circles around them and I'm really worried about it. I took a picture in dim light so you can see what I mean. Are there any home remedies to fix this, or is surgery the only option? I'd prefer something natural if possible. Can you suggest what might help?
