I've been dealing with some pretty annoying itching in my vaginal area after shaving, and it's really uncomfortable. I'm worried because it's getting in the way of my everyday activities. I would love to know what I can use to stop this itching quickly. Why does it happen after shaving, and how can I make it go away fast?

To help alleviate the itching, you can use an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. Apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream to the affected area up to three times a day. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine such as cetirizine to help reduce itching. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. It is also important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the itching persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

So I'm 19 and I'm Indian, but I'm noticing something odd with my beard. It's got a lot of brown hairs, especially on the chin, even though the hair on my head is black. Also, I'm dealing with rosacea, and my nose is really red because of it. I'm curious, why could my beard be turning brown?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I got bitten by an acid fly and now I have these big red patches on my neck and face. The doctor I saw mentioned that the marks might not go away. Is there anything I can do to help remove these marks? I'm pretty worried about it.
