I've been dealing with acne and pimples on my arms and back for a few months now. A friend suggested using salicylix acid ointment, but it hasn't helped much. Any other remedies you'd recommend? I'm really looking for something effective because it's been bothering me quite a bit.

I have a skin tag near my anus and I think I might also have a fissure. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? Are there medicines or home remedies that can help with the pain and healing?

Topical creams, sitz baths, and stool softeners may help anal fissures and skin tags. If conservative treatment fails, minor procedures may be needed.

Does burnt hair grow back?

It entirely depends on level the burn took place. For mild burns hair regrowth usually takes places once the scalp gets healed.

I've been struggling with thin cheeks and it's been making me look tired and too lean even though I'm quite fit. This has been an issue for about three years now. I've tried maintaining a good diet with milk, fruits, and nuts, but it hasn't really helped. I'm really looking for advice on how to get fuller, chubby cheeks. Any suggestions?
