I'm dealing with some annoying symptoms after getting bitten by a bunch of leeches about a week ago. They were pretty small, but now I've got these little bumps where they were, and the itching is driving me crazy. Any idea how I can get this itching to stop?

I've been having some issues with my skin ever since I got over chickenpox. Now my face is breaking out with acne and pimples everywhere. They're kinda mild, not super aggressive, but I never had any before. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing post-chickenpox acne. To help with this, you can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Differin (adapalene) gel. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas once daily in the evening. Additionally, you can use a benzoyl peroxide wash like PanOxyl (benzoyl peroxide) to cleanse your face once or twice daily. Make sure to moisturize with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness. If these over-the-counter treatments do not improve your acne, you may need to see a dermatologist for further evaluation and prescription medications.
