I had an accident around 10 years ago that left a noticeable stitch mark on my face. I'm really curious about how I might be able to hide it with makeup or if there's a way to permanently remove it. Can you give me any advice on what might work best?

So, I'm wondering when it's safe to have sex after having chicken pox? There aren't any new blisters coming up anymore, and the ones I have are drying out. It's been about 5 days since I found out I had it. What's the deal with this?

It's safe to refrain from sexual intercourse for atleast a period of 3-4 weeks to avoid cross infection.

Why did my skin get worse after I stopped using Sabi glow and started the sunscreen and moisturizer like the doctor said? My forehead turned really black in just two weeks, and Im wondering why it happened. Now I'm using lumacip plus and kojivit cream, and it's getting better. Is my doctor using trial and error with my skin, and how long will it take for my skin to improve? I've been trying different treatments for more than 4 years now, and I'm concerned.
