I've been dealing with scabies in my underarms, and my skin has turned black because of it. This problem seems to keep coming back. What could be causing this recurring issue, and is there any way to treat the darkened skin and prevent the scabies from coming back again?

To treat scabies, you can use Permethrin cream 5%. Apply a thin layer of the cream to your entire body from the neck down and leave it on for 8-14 hours before washing it off. This should be repeated in 7 days. Additionally, you can take an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to wash all clothes, bedding, and towels in hot water to prevent re-infestation.

View allI'm really concerned about the pigmentation on my face since I stopped using the No Scar cream. Its really red and Im not sure what to do to make it better. Are there any treatments you would recommend to help with these side effects? Id really appreciate your advice.
To alleviate face pigmentation and redness caused by No Scar cream, apply a topical treatment like Kojic acid, vitamin C serum, or niacinamide cream, and consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice, laser therapy, or chemical peels to help reduce hyperpigmentation and promote even skin tone.

But lately, even after applying it, the itching won't go away. I've noticed these dark black skin lines all over the anal area too.

I've heard a lot about dairy products causing acne. I'm wondering if I should stop drinking milk to avoid getting pimples. I don't eat chocolate, cheese, or butter, but I do drink a glass of milk every day. Will that lead to breakouts? Should I cut back on milk?
Thats not true,its healthy to have milk daily,for your acne issue visit Dermatologist for appropriate management
