A member asked:

I have scars on legs for 12 yrs now. how to rimove it? i easily get skin itchy. even just a bite of a mosquitoi feel very itchy and in dust

Scars: It depends what type of scars those are. There are different methods to treat scars from steroid injections to laser treatments but again it will depend on how disfiguring the scars are and what result you are seeking. I would suggest seeing a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon for further advice.

Hi! When I shave (only legs & under arm) I get terribly itchy. may be razor bumps. I scratch so much I rub my skin raw. Would waxing the areas relieve the itchiness a bit? If not how can I stop this? I cannot let this get in the way of my hygiene?
