I've been staying at a friend's place for a few days and now I'm getting incredibly itchy bites, but I can't actually see anything on my skin. I'm pretty sure I might have mites and it's driving me nuts. I've tried washing with a sulfur-based body wash for a couple of days, but it doesn't seem to help. Is there anything else I could do to get rid of these mites and stop the itching?

To combat mite infestation, in addition to the sulfur-based body wash, try washing and drying clothing and bedding in hot water and high heat, drying non-washable items in the sun, using a dehumidifier to reduce moisture, applying calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream to soothe itching, and considering over-the-counter permethrin or pyrethrin

View allI've been using Faiza beauty cream, and while it initially made my skin look better and fairer, I've started having issues since I stopped using it. Now my skin is having a bad reaction with lots of pimples appearing in a really concerning way. I'm really stressed about it and wondering if there's anything I can do to fix this mess. Any advice on how to replace this cream or what steps I should take to get my skin back on track would be super helpful.
Faiza Beauty Cream can be quite harsh on the skin, especially when stopped abruptly. _Replacement Cream Options_ 1. _Neutrogena Hydrating Facial Moisturizer_: A gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer for daily use. 2. _Himalaya Herbals Moisturizing Cream_: A natural, nourishing cream for dry to normal skin. 3. _Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream_: A rich, non-greasy moisturizer for dry, sensitive skin. 4. _Lakm Moisturizer_: A gentle, nourishing moisturizer for daily use. _Before Switching_ 1. _Consult a dermatologist_: Get personalized advice on the best cream for your skin type. 2. _Patch test_: Apply a small amount of the new cream on a discreet area to check for any adverse reactions. _Additional Tips_ 1. _Exfoliate regularly_: Use a gentle exfoliator to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. 2. _Use sunscreen_: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily. 3. _Maintain a skincare routine_: Cleanse, tone, and moisturize your skin regularly.

I started going to the gym back in November 2015, and now it's been about 56 months. I've noticed some stretch marks appearing near my armpit area. I've talked to my nutritionist and gym trainer about it, and even did some Googling. It seems like these marks might be popping up because my body is growing or adding more muscle. Does that sound right, or could there be another reason behind them? Should I see a dermatologist about this, or would a sports nutritionist be better to consult with? Any advice would be appreciated!

I've noticed that my butt and knees are darker than the rest of my body and it bothers me. It just seems unattractive and I'm really hoping to even out my skin tone. I have a brown complexion. What can I do to make it all look more balanced?
To help even out the skin tone on your buttocks and knees, you can consider using a skin lightening cream that contains ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or alpha arbutin. These ingredients can help lighten dark areas of the skin and promote a more even tone. You can try using a cream like Meladerm or Ambi Fade Cream, applying it to the affected areas once or twice a day as directed. Additionally, make sure to exfoliate the skin regularly to remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal. Remember to use sunscreen on these areas to prevent further darkening from sun exposure.
