I'm worried about a scar on my face from when I hit the ground really hard three months ago. It seemed to lighten up before using coconut oil, but now it looks like the mark has become permanent. I'm self-conscious about it as it looks odd on my face. Are there any lotions or creams you would recommend to help with this?

View allI'm 28 and have always struggled with oily skin, and that means dealing with pimples and their marks constantly. A few months back, I tried retino a with eukroma cream in a chickpea-sized amount, and after 3 months, my skin was looking great. But I stopped using eukroma and now all the pimples and marks are back. Should I start using eukroma again or is there a different approach I should consider? Any thoughts on what I can do to get rid of these spots once and for all?
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm really worried about my roommate who got a spider bite and now has red spots, rashes, and is itching all over. He's getting treated, but I'm concerned if this is something contagious. Do I need to take any precautions to avoid getting it myself?

I've been dealing with these razor bumps in my butt crack for like four days now, and they're really painful. I've tried using different things to get rid of them quickly. I can't walk, sit, or even clean the area without it hurting. I've tried Witch Hazel and a cream, and now I'm using Aloe Gel, but I want them gone faster. Is there any way to make them disappear overnight?
