View allI've been dealing with chickenpox and noticed now that my entire body is itching, even in places where there are no rashes. It's been 12 days since I first noticed the symptoms. Is this normal or could it be something else?
It is normal to experience itching even in areas where there are no chickenpox rashes during the recovery phase. To help alleviate the itching, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply Calamine lotion to the affected areas for relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid scratching to prevent any potential skin infections.

Can I use Evion 400 on my face every night? I've heard it's an antioxidant and good for the skin, but I'm wondering if it's safe to do this regularly. Is there anything I should be worried about?
Evion 400 is a brand name for Vitamin E capsules. It can be beneficial for the skin as it is an antioxidant. You can puncture the capsule and apply the oil directly to your face overnight. However, it is recommended to do a patch test first to check for any allergic reactions. Apply a small amount on your inner arm and wait for 24 hours to see if there is any redness, itching, or irritation. If there is no reaction, you can apply it on your face daily.

I'm dealing with a lot of acne on my face, and they leave these dark spots that just won't go away. Right now, I'm using NO MARKS cream and also taking Evion 400 and roxy 150 tablets. I'm a bit worried, thoughis this okay for me to continue using, or could it be causing any harm?
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. Acne usually appears on your face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. Effective treatments are available, but acne can be persistent. The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when one begins to go away, others seem to crop up. Wash problem areas with a gentle cleanser. Twice a day, use your hands to wash your face with a mild soap and warm water. If you tend to develop acne around your hairline, shampoo your hair every day. Avoid certain products, such as facial scrubs, astringents and masks, because they tend to irritate skin, which can worsen acne. Excessive washing and scrubbing also can irritate skin. And be gentle while shaving affected skin. Avoid irritants. You may want to avoid oily or greasy cosmetics, sunscreens, hairstyling products or acne concealers. Use products labeled water-based or noncomedogenic, which means they are less likely to cause acne. Use an oil-free moisturizer with sunscreen. For some people, the sun worsens acne. And some acne medications make you more susceptible to the sun's rays. Check with your doctor to see if your medication is one of these. If it is, stay out of the sun as much as possible. Regularly use a nonoily (noncomedogenic) moisturizer that includes a sunscreen. Watch what touches your skin. Keep your hair clean and off your face. Also avoid resting your hands or objects, such as telephone receivers, on your face. Tight clothing or hats also can pose a problem, especially if you're sweating. Sweat and oils can contribute to acne. Don't pick or squeeze blemishes. Doing so can cause infection or scarring
