I had chicken pox around two months ago and now I'm left with some holes on my face - like on my forehead, nose, and cheeks. I'm really worried about how to get my skin back to how it was before. Is it even possible to get rid of these marks, and if so, how long might it take? I'm feeling quite anxious about it all.

I've been noticing some red rashes on my legs, arms, and back since yesterday. Initially, I thought it might be something I ate, but Im not really sure. It gets pretty itchy in the morning, and when I scratch, the rashes seem to spread. After lunch, the rash flared up again but disappeared a bit after I took some medicine. I'm worried about why this is happening. Could it be something serious?

You may be experiencing an allergic reaction. To help alleviate the itching and rash, you can take an antihistamine. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help reduce the itching and inflammation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
