I've got a mark on my face from some stitches and I'm really hoping it can be removed. Could you please let me know if that's possible and what the options might be? I'm quite concerned about it.

Stitch marks on the face can be challenging to completely remove, but various treatments can help minimize their appearance; consider consulting a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for options like: topical silicone gel or sheeting, steroid injections, laser therapy, microneedling, or chemical peels to help flatten and fade the scars.

I'm experiencing this prickling sensation and a lot of itching on my hands near my wrists, legs, and even on my back. It's really uncomfortable, especially during the summer. Could you suggest some remedies I could try to get some relief?
It sounds like you may be experiencing heat rash, also known as prickly heat. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using calamine lotion on the affected areas to soothe the itching and prickling sensation. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to help reduce itching. Make sure to stay cool and hydrated, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid excessive sweating to prevent further irritation.

I've been experiencing some intense itching all over my body and head, and it started around 1 pm. There are areas that have become swollen and red, and my fingers are really swollen too. This happened just a couple of hours after I took MOX 500 and a painkiller following a tooth extraction. Do you think the MOX could be causing this?
Allergic reactions to antibiotics like Amoxicillin can manifest as itching, swelling, and redness on the skin, as well as swelling of the fingers. It is important to stop taking MOX 500 and the painkiller immediately and seek medical attention. For the itching and swelling, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
