I'm worried because I applied chuna powder on my mole, and now it's healing. How long will it take to heal completely? Will there be any scars? Can you recommend any ointments I can get in India to speed up the healing process?

It is important to keep the area clean and protected while it heals. You can apply Silverex cream twice a day to help with the healing process and reduce the risk of scarring. Make sure to consult a doctor if you notice any signs of infection or if the mole does not heal properly.

I've noticed my tongue has turned white and looks coated over the past week. I tried looking it up online and experimented with some home remedies like brushing with salt and gargling with water, but nothing seems to work. Can you recommend other methods that might help?

I'm thinking about getting Q-switch Nd:YAG laser treatment for my dark lips and I'm a bit concerned about its safety. If the dark pigmentation on my lips is removed, will it come back again? I dont think its genetic since no one in my family has it, and Im not a smoker. I developed it when I turned 13. Could it be related to mild PCOS?

I'm dealing with some really frustrating itching that's been going on for about 10 days now. I've tried antibiotics and Atarax tablets, but they haven't helped at all. The problem is, these rashes have appeared in some private areas, and I feel really uncomfortable about going to a hospital because I'm not sure how to show them. Do you have any advice on what I could do about this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a skin rash or allergic reaction. Since the medications you have tried have not been effective, I recommend trying an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Additionally, you can apply a topical hydrocortisone cream to the affected area twice daily for relief. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.
