I accidentally brushed my leg against my bike's engine and the skin has turned white. It's not too painful, but I'm a little worried since it's a bit unusual. Is this something I should be concerned about, or will it heal on its own?

Minor burns from touching a bike engine can cause white discoloration. Follow these steps:
Immediate Care
- Run cool tap water over the affected area for 10-15 minutes to reduce temperature.
- Apply a topical antibiotic ointment (e.g., Neosporin or Bacitracin).
- Cover with a non-stick, sterile bandage.
Aftercare
- Keep the area clean and dry.
- Apply ointment 2-3 times a day.
- Monitor for signs of infection (redness, swelling, increased pain).
- Avoid breaking blisters or scratchin

View allI've been dealing with chickenpox and noticed now that my entire body is itching, even in places where there are no rashes. It's been 12 days since I first noticed the symptoms. Is this normal or could it be something else?
It is normal to experience itching even in areas where there are no chickenpox rashes during the recovery phase. To help alleviate the itching, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply Calamine lotion to the affected areas for relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid scratching to prevent any potential skin infections.

I've recently had my armpits waxed and a few hours later I noticed some irritation. The skin turned red initially and now it's become really dark. I'm quite worried about how it looks. Its been several days without any improvement or lightening of these black patches. Could you suggest any solution for this?
