I'm a 31-year-old guy and recently noticed this red mark on my neck that's been there for about 12 days now. It kind of looks like a hickey, but it definitely isn't because I haven't been sexually active in a few years. It doesn't hurt or itch, so I'm really confused about what it could be. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

A sudden red mark on the neck that doesn't hurt or itch could be from minor trauma (like scratching), an insect bite, or a skin reaction. Other possibilities include an allergic reaction. If it doesnt improve or new symptoms appear, consider seeing a doctor for evaluation to rule out other causes like dermatitis or skin conditions.

View allI've never been a smoker, but my lips are really dark, and I'm desperate to lighten them. I've tried a bunch of home remedies like lemon, honey, and beetroot, but nothing seems to work. What else can I do to help get rid of this?
Darkening of lips could be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, dehydration, Sun exposure. Identify the cause and address it. Use a lip balm with spf 15 or higher to protect them.Ensure you drink plenty of water daily. use a gentle scrub to exfoliate dead skin 2-3 times a week. use moisturising and hydrating lip balms.

I've been having some issues after doing a DIY Brazilian wax at home a few days ago. Everything seemed fine at first, but on the third day, I started feeling really itchy around my outer labia and anus area and noticed some big bumps that felt like mosquito bites. It's pretty uncomfortable, and aloe gel hasn't really helped. What should I do to treat this? Any advice would really help!
That could be allergic reaction due to the gel,visit your dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I've been noticing a lot of people using Vaseline on their skin as some sort of moisture barrier, and I'm really not sure if that's safe or even right for me. I have combination skin that's also pretty acne-prone, and I'm worried about whether Vaseline could potentially mess things up. Do you think it's safe for me to try it, or should I steer clear?
there many other moisturizers made for facial skin, you opt for one among them,using moisturizer is healthy to protect your skin from pollution and light and also temperature variations.
