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'm wondering if it's safe to use hair removal cream to get rid of pubic hair. Has anyone tried VWash hair removal cream for this? Or maybe there's another product that's better for completely removing pubic hair? I'm a bit concerned about the safety and effectiveness, and would love to hear from someone with some expertise or experience!

Yes you can use it no problem

I'm taking canditral 200 mg capsule once daily and fluconazole 150 mg capsule every other day for about a month now. How much longer do I need to keep taking this medication? Also, I've been using luliconazole cream on the affected area every night. Should I keep using it?
