I'm really worried about the moles on my face and body. I tried homeopathic treatment, but I couldn't keep up with it, and now my moles have increased and I'm getting warts too. I'm scared that if I don't find a solution soon, my face will be covered in moles. Initially, I had 1213 moles but now it's up to 2324. I don't want any scars from treatment and want my face to look smooth. How much would it cost if I chose laser treatment for my whole face? Also, would homeopathy be a good option for me? How long would it take to completely get rid of these moles from my face?

I've been dealing with scabies in my underarms, and my skin has turned black because of it. This problem seems to keep coming back. What could be causing this recurring issue, and is there any way to treat the darkened skin and prevent the scabies from coming back again?

To treat scabies, you can use Permethrin cream 5%. Apply a thin layer of the cream to your entire body from the neck down and leave it on for 8-14 hours before washing it off. This should be repeated in 7 days. Additionally, you can take an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to wash all clothes, bedding, and towels in hot water to prevent re-infestation.
