I'm having this really persistent itch on my backside and between my thighs. I've been trying Crotorax for it, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. Do you think there's something else I should try, or could there be a different underlying issue?

I'm really worried about some skin issues I've been facing. I tried using apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, and multani mitti on a few spots on my face. I left it on for about 20 minutes and washed it off. But then, those areas turned frosted and by the next morning, they started to look brown. I made the mistake of trying to peel them off and now it feels like it's burning a lot, with pinkish skin showing underneath. I'm really concerned about scarring. I'm currently using hydrocortisone 1 cream and keeping the areas moisturized, but I'm not sure what else I should do. How long will it take for my skin to heal and return to normal? Any advice or precautions would be really appreciated.

Discontinue the use of harsh products. Moisturize and hydrate the skin using gentle products. Use hydrocortisone cream sparingly for inflammation, but do not overuse. Avoid picking, scratching, or peeling the skin. Protect the area from the sun and ensure proper healing. With proper care, the skin should heal within 1-2 weeks for mild burns, but more severe cases may take longer. Please continue to monitor the healing process, and if the situation does not improve or worsens, consider seeing a dermatologist.

I'm really worried because I've noticed more and more dark spots and blackness appearing on my face, especially around my eyes and under them. It seems like my face is getting darker every day. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do to help it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing hyperpigmentation. You can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to apply the cream on the affected areas twice a day, and remember to follow up with your skincare routine.

Can sharing a comb with an older family member really cause my hair to turn grey? I'm also curious about what other problems might come from sharing a comb with someone else. Should I be worried about hygiene or other health issues?
