I've been having a really hard time sleeping at night because of this super itchy problem. It's getting worse when I scratch, and now it seems to be spreading. Could you recommend a good medicine that might help cure it? I'm really concerned and looking for some guidance.

I can recommend you to take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) 25mg before bedtime to help with your itchy problem and improve your sleep. Additionally, you can apply hydrocortisone cream on the itchy areas to reduce the itching and prevent further spreading.

I've been struggling with unwanted facial hair along with acne and scars and it's really affecting my confidence. I've heard laser hair removal might help but I'm not sure if it's safe for my skin or if it'll make the acne worse. Can you recommend a good clinic or explain how laser surgery works for these issues? Also, will it help with the scars or do I need separate treatment for that?

dermat opinion is advised.

I have these black spots on the left side of my chest that have been there since I was 12. Theyre flat, irregular in shape, and blend in with my skin, but theyve started spreading over the years. Even though they dont itch or hurt, the change in their color is worrying me. A homeopathy doctor once mentioned its a melanin issue, but Im feeling anxious about it now. What do you think could be causing this, and should I be concerned about them spreading further?

No need to worry, That could be melanosis or keratosis Which comes with no complications, visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
