Question

I've been dealing with this ring guard issue on the side of my vagina since October. It's super itchy, and even though I went to a skin doctor and got some medicine, it hasn't cleared up. I'm really worried and looking for some advice on what I should do next or how I can get rid of it. Any suggestions on treatment options that might work better?

Sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection. To treat this, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for about 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid tight clothing to help with the itching and prevent further irritation.

Question

I accidentally put undiluted Dettol on my nose and chin a few days ago, and when it started burning, I washed it off. This morning, I noticed that the skin feels really tight, dry, and flaky. When I tried to peel it off, the skin underneath looks red and is still burning. I'm worried about how to treat this and avoid any scars. What should I do?

Question

I'm really struggling with these deep acne scars on my cheeks. The actual acne is gone, but the scars are really noticeable. I've read about subcision as a treatment option, but I'm not sure if it's the best choice for dealing with my scars. Could you suggest if subcision would work or if there's another treatment that's more effective for my situation? I'm eager to find the best solution.

Question

I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant and was wondering if it's safe to get my eyebrows and upper lip threaded. I also have pretty sensitive skin, so I'm a bit concerned about how it might react. Would love to get your thoughts on this!
