I'm dealing with herpes and it's started to spread on my back. I'm concerned about how to keep it from spreading even more. Is it safe to wash the affected area with normal water, or should I be doing something else to care for it properly?

I'm looking for some advice on the best skin cream to use daily for acne and oily skin. I've been using lacto calamine, but I'm not sure if it's the right choice. Can you help me figure out if it's good or if there's something better out there?

I've noticed these brown scars under both of my arms for over two months now. I'm 42 and they don't itch or hurt, but I'm wondering what might be going on. Should I be worried about these scars?

You may be dealing with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can occur after skin trauma or inflammation. To help lighten the brown scars, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, twice daily on the affected areas. Additionally, applying sunscreen with a high SPF daily can prevent further darkening of the scars. If the scars do not improve with these measures, you may consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.
