I'm experiencing some symptoms like a fever, sore throat, and rash, and I think it might be hand, foot, and mouth disease. I'm wondering if it's okay to take a bath while dealing with these symptoms?

I've had these stitch marks on my hand for about three years now, and it's starting to bother me because everyone notices them and asks about it. Is there a way to get rid of them?

Stitch marks can be treated with the help of topical creams containing silicone gel, such as Mederma. You can apply a thin layer of Mederma on the stitch marks twice a day for several months to see improvement. Additionally, you can also consider laser therapy or microdermabrasion treatments to further reduce the appearance of the scar.

I've been struggling with really dark underarms and it's bothering me a lot. I just want them to look like the rest of my skin. Do you have any advice on how to achieve this, and maybe tips on keeping them that way? I'm really curious and a bit worried about what might work best.

Mela glow rich cream is advised to the patient once a day for local application for 2-4 weeks.
