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 really worried about some stitches I recently had removed from my face after an accident. The marks left behind by the stitches have been bothering me, and I just want to know if there's a way to get rid of those marks so my skin looks like it did before. Also, I'm trying to grow a beard, but I'm not sure if it'll grow over the area where the stitches were. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

I've been having this constant burning sensation on the skin of my scrotum, and it's just in one spot. Everything else feels okay, but it's really bothering me because it's hard to walk, sit, or even sleep. I've tried using Suthol and some cooling powders, but it's not helping. Could you tell me what might be going on and what I should do next?
