I've been dealing with oily skin and acne for a while now, and it always seems to leave scars behind. On top of that, I had pox a couple of years ago, and that also left scars. I'm really hoping to find a way to get rid of these scars. What can I do?

For acne and pox scars, consider using a gentle exfoliating routine with salicylic acid, and incorporate products containing vitamin C and retinoids to help fade scars. If the scars persist, a consultation with a dermatologist for treatments like chemical peels or microneedling might be beneficial.

I've been having some issues after doing a DIY Brazilian wax at home a few days ago. Everything seemed fine at first, but on the third day, I started feeling really itchy around my outer labia and anus area and noticed some big bumps that felt like mosquito bites. It's pretty uncomfortable, and aloe gel hasn't really helped. What should I do to treat this? Any advice would really help!

That could be allergic reaction due to the gel,visit your dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
