I got Rica waxing over the weekend, and now I'm noticing some patches on my arms and underarms. They're pretty visible and have me worried, especially since there are more under my arms. I've tried using ice and Aloe vera gel today. What can I do to get rid of these patches? I'm really concerned about it.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with scabies for over a month and it's just not getting better. I've got this constant itching everywhere on my hands, feet, finger webs, underarms, and even inside my vagina and around the anal area. My dermatologist has prescribed a bunch of antifungal tablets, vaginal creams, and antiparasitic meds, but once the treatment cycle ends, the itching just starts up again. I'm starting to wonder, can scabies actually cause itching inside the vagina and anal area? What should I do if the medications aren't helping?

Scabies can cause intense itching, including in the genital and anal areas, due to the mite burrowing into the skin; to address your persistent symptoms, consider the following: - Re-consult your dermatologist for a thorough re-evaluation. - Ensure proper treatment of all household members and close contacts. - Use topical permethrin cream (5%) or oral ivermectin as prescribed. - Apply topical creams or ointments exactly as directed. - Wash and dry clothing, bedding, and towels in hot water and dry on a hot setting. - Dry-clean or seal in a plastic bag for 3 days any items that can't be washed.

I'm really worried about these Fordyce spots that I have. Are there any home remedies I could try to help with them? I've also heard that coconut oil might be a cure. Is there any truth to that?

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.
