My mom recently had facial herpes. The blisters are gone now, but they've left some scars. I'm trying to find out what kind of medicine or ointments can help fade these scars. I've got some pictures that might make things clearer. Any advice?

I'm really worried about my roommate who got a spider bite and now has red spots, rashes, and is itching all over. He's getting treated, but I'm concerned if this is something contagious. Do I need to take any precautions to avoid getting it myself?
