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.

I'm really worried because while frying some snacks, the pan burst and hot oil splashed all over my wife's hands. She's ended up with burn injuries, and I'm not sure what the best treatment would be for the degree of burns she has. Could you guide us on how to care for this at home or if we need to see a specialist?

- For a mild burn (first-degree), rinse with cool water for 10-15 minutes and apply a soothing lotion. For moderate burns (second-degree), cover with a clean, non-stick bandage and seek medical attention immediately. If the burn is severe (third-degree),

I'm really worried because the skin on the tip of my penis has become dry and seems to have an allergic reaction. There's even some white discoloration around the urinary area. The skin sometimes cracks when I try to retract my foreskin and it gets really painful, even to the point where it bleeds. Could this be a fungal infection, and is there any cream or treatment you would recommend?

I've been dealing with an itchy butt for nearly 2 months now. There are a few spots that look like bug bites and they hurt and feel like pimples. I also noticed in the inner corner of my anal area, there's something that resembles psoriasisit's scaly, itches, and peels sometimes. The scarring is pretty bad, and I'm feeling self-conscious about wearing a bathing suit since the scars are visible all over my butt. My sister seems to have a similar issue but without the bug bites. We initially thought it might be the vaginal wash we were using, but even after stopping, these issues persist. I have a dog that sleeps with me under the covers, but she's on flea medicine. She also sleeps with my brother, who doesn't have any of these symptoms. Could this be something like scabies, spider bites, flea bites, or even mange? What can I do to soothe the itching and help with the scarring? Are there any over-the-counter meds or natural remedies you'd recommend?

it may b scabies use permithrin lotion and levocetrzine tab at night times
