To help remove chickenpox marks on your face, you can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, which helps lighten dark spots. One example is Melalite cream, which can be applied to the affected areas once daily. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can prevent further darkening of the marks. It is important to consult with a dermatologist before starting any treatment to ensure it is suitable for your skin type and condition.

I'm dealing with a pretty stubborn rash on my inner thigh that I think might be a ringworm. I've tried using Itchguard and Candid B cream, but they don't seem to be helping much. Is there a different antifungal cream or medicine you could recommend for better results?

Lulican cream for local application for atleast 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I'm noticing that my beard is getting white, but my hair isn't. It used to be just 56 follicles, but now it feels like about 30% of my beard has turned white in just six months. Is there something specific that causes this kind of change in beard color compared to hair? Should I be worried, and are there any ways to slow down or reverse this process?
