I've just finished a treatment for lichen planus, and the bumps and itching have stopped, thankfully. However, the marks are still visible, and I really want them gone quicker if possible. The dermatologist mentioned they'd fade over time, but is there anything I can do to speed up the process and get rid of these marks in a few months to a year?

I've been dealing with some pretty annoying itching in my vaginal area after shaving, and it's really uncomfortable. I'm worried because it's getting in the way of my everyday activities. I would love to know what I can use to stop this itching quickly. Why does it happen after shaving, and how can I make it go away fast?

To help alleviate the itching, you can use an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. Apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream to the affected area up to three times a day. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine such as cetirizine to help reduce itching. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. It is also important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the itching persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

White patches on the stomach can be caused by various factors, and proper air exposure may help some types heal faster, but it's not a guaranteed solution for all cases. While surgery can be an option for conditions like vitiligo, it's not a guaranteed permanent removal and may require further treatment,
