I have a small chickenpox scar on my face and I've tried all kinds of scar removal creams but nothing worked. Now I'm thinking about surgery but wanted to check if laser treatment could remove this scar instead. Does laser work for old chickenpox scars like mine?

Laser resurfacing can improve old chickenpox scars, but complete removal may not be possible—consult a dermatologist.

View allI've noticed that my armpits have turned dark and patchy, and there's a bit of swelling too. It gets itchy, especially when I sweat. I don't put deodorant directly on my skin. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
Melacure cream for local application for atleast 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient, as it is economical.

I'm a breastfeeding mom and I'm worried about the skincare products I should or shouldn't use. I'm considering using a sunscreen day cream and wondering if it's safe. Also, I'm thinking about trying an anti-aging cream from Himalaya. Do you think these products are okay for me to use while I'm nursing?
Yes, sunscreen day cream can be safely used by a breastfeeding mother. Look for a sunscreen that is labeled as safe for use during breastfeeding. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, and reapply every 2 hours if you are outdoors. As for the anti-ageing cream by Himalaya, it is generally safe to use during breastfeeding. However, it is always recommended to do a patch test before applying it to larger areas of the skin to check for any allergic reactions. Follow the instructions on the packaging for the correct application.

I've got a healthy weight, but my cheeks are super thin, and it just doesn't look great. I'm sticking to a nutritious diet, doing pranayama, and keeping up with exercise, but my cheeks still look really thin. How can I get fuller cheeks and glowing skin? I'm not dealing with any diseases or anything. Any advice?
