Question

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'm worried I might have been exposed to herpes. Can you tell me when it's the right time to take the herpes IgG and IgM tests after a possible infection? Also, is it true that herpes can spread from the genital area to the oral area?

Question

I'm trying to find Venusia cream for my dry skin, but it's nowhere to be found. I came across something called Venusia Max. Are they the same, or should I keep searching for the original Venusia cream? I'm a bit confused about what to do next.

Question

I've been dealing with this skin fungal infection for 34 years, and though I'm finally better, I'm left with scars all over my body that really bother me. They're in dark and light patches and spots, especially on my chest, waist, the sides of private areas, my back, and even my right leg below the knee. Theyre also under my left armpit and I get light dark spots on my face. What can I do to treat these scars? Are there any soaps or creams you'd recommend for long-term use?
