I'm trying to decide between Opexa gel and Mederma for scar removal and I'm wondering which one works better. Can you also recommend a good cream specifically for acne scars?

I've been having these recurring skin allergies for about a year now. It's mostly around my pubic area, under my knee, and on my hip, and it's really itchy and red. I've tried taking itraconazole 100mg, and it helps for a bit, but then the problem just comes back. I'm really not sure what to do next. Could you give me any advice or suggest something I might be missing?

I have a wart near my left eye and my doctor recommended removing it with surgery under local anesthesia as a precaution, even though it's not causing problems now. Since it's so close to my eye, is the procedure safe? Could there be any risk of nerve damage or other complications? Also, what are the chances of it coming back after removal?

Wart removal near the eye is usually safe with local anesthesia; consult an experienced surgeon to avoid nerve damage and minimize recurrence.

I've been using Patanjali toothpaste on my face to try and get rid of some pimples, but now my skin's super dry, really irritated, and parts feel like they're burning. What should I do to fix this, and is it safe to use toothpaste like that on the skin anyway?
