I tried using a Himalaya face pack and about an hour later, my face started itching and then developed rashes. What could be causing this reaction, and should I be concerned? Is there something I can do to soothe the itching and get rid of the rashes?

I'm wondering if Soframycin skin cream is safe to use for cuts on the glans of the penis. If it's not the best option, can you suggest another cream that's more suitable for healing glan cuts? Really looking for the best recommendation.

I would recommend using an antibiotic cream like Neosporin or Bactroban. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area twice a day for optimal healing. Remember to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.

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 using an antifungal cream for a while, and it seemed to be helping, but once I stopped using it, the itching started at the same spot again. Why does this keep happening? Is it normal for the itching to come back after stopping the cream? What should I do next?
