I've been dealing with this relentless itchiness on my thighs whenever I get into bed at night, and it just won't stop until I somehow fall asleep. There's a rash on one of my thighs, and I'm convinced it's not a bite, since I haven't been bitten elsewhere. It's been going on for a couple of weeks. What could this be? Should I be worried?

View allI tried using Salactin paint on my ankle to get rid of some hard skin, but after just a day, the skin turned black and red. It looks like it might be burnt. What should I do to treat this and help it heal?
Salactin paint contains salicylic acid, which can help soften and remove hard skin. However, it can also cause irritation, especially if used incorrectly or on sensitive skin. The black and red discoloration you've described suggests a chemical burn or severe irritation. To promote healing and reduce discomfort, follow these steps: Immediate Care 1. Stop using Salactin paint: Discontinue use immediately to prevent further irritation. 2. Wash the area: Gently wash the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water to remove any remaining salicylic acid. 3. Apply a topical cream: Use a topical cream or gel containing aloe vera, hydrocortisone (1%), or calamine to help soothe and calm the skin.

I've got this chicken pox scar on the right side of my forehead that's pigmented and a bit deep. I really want it to match the rest of my skin, even if the depth stays the same. Would it be possible to get rid of the pigmentation so it looks like my normal skin color? I'm open to the idea of a small surgery if that's what it takes. Could you give me some advice on this?
For the pigmented scar on your forehead, you can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone to help lighten the pigmentation. Additionally, you may benefit from laser therapy such as PicoSure or Fraxel to further improve the appearance of the scar. In some cases, a dermatologist may recommend a chemical peel to help reduce the pigmentation. It's important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment option for your specific scar.
