I had chicken pox a couple of months back, and now I've noticed my scalp is really dry. Just today, I lost several hairs from the area where the pox marks were. I'm worried if the skin will eventually regenerate hair in that spot. Could this be a long-term issue?

Im really hoping to lighten my skin by about three shades permanently. Is that even possible? And do chemical peels actually help with skin whitening? If so, which one should I consider?

Chemical peels can help in skin whitening by exfoliating the outer layers of the skin. One of the best chemical peels for skin whitening is the Glycolic Acid peel. It is effective in reducing pigmentation and improving skin tone. The recommended dosage for Glycolic Acid peel is usually 20-70%, depending on your skin type and the severity of pigmentation. It is important to consult with a dermatologist before undergoing any chemical peel treatment to determine the most suitable option for your skin."

I'm dealing with acne on my face and my doctor had prescribed some Adaplec cream along with an antibiotic pill, but I can't remember the name of the pill and unfortunately, the doctor isn't available right now. Could someone help me figure out which antibiotic pill might have been prescribed for treating acne?

Azithromycin.
