I've got these cuts on my left armsix deep, straight scars from 15 years ago that I gave myself. Now I really need to get rid of them quickly but I'm not looking to use laser treatment. I have a medical test coming up next week, and I wouldnt mind if the scars looked like an accident wound but definitely not self-inflicted. Got any advice that could help?

Consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for a scar revision or excision procedure, and for immediate camouflage, use medical-grade concealers, silicone gel sheeting, or scar tape to disguise the scars as accidental wounds, and consider explaining your situation to your doctor, as they may be able to provide a medical note or documentation to support your claim.

I also keep getting regular vaginal infections. Could this be related to my paper-eating habit, and what should I do about these symptoms?

I've had this skin allergy on my stomach and back for almost three weeks now. It's a red circle with small dots outside and really itchy, kind of like those ring guard ones. I've tried calamine lotion and taken some Avil, but it's still bothering me. Any idea what's going on or what else I should do?
That could be fungal infcetion,visit dermatologist for appropriate treatmen,personal hygiene is more important for a better result.
