Recently, I had chicken pox and now that the scabs have fallen, I've noticed small white spots left behind in those areas. Will these spots eventually fade on their own, or should I consider seeing a dermatologist? I'm worried about the cost of surgery if it comes to that, so any advice would be really helpful.

I accidentally put undiluted Dettol on my nose and chin a few days ago, and when it started burning, I washed it off. This morning, I noticed that the skin feels really tight, dry, and flaky. When I tried to peel it off, the skin underneath looks red and is still burning. I'm worried about how to treat this and avoid any scars. What should I do?
No need to worry there is no further complications with this, and the reaction might be due to concentrated Dettol, it usually heals on its own if the exposed area is large and giving you pain , visit your Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

I'm using Melanocyl ointment for my vitiligo as prescribed by my doctor, but I've developed a sore and a reddish patch on the area I'm treating. My doctor is currently on leave. What should I do about the sore?
Seems like you may be experiencing a reaction to the Melanocyl ointment. You can try using a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the sore area to reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer twice a day for a week. Additionally, you can use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with another healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
