There isn’t good research on home remedies for Fordyce spots, but options include coconut oil, tea tree oil, aloe vera, honey, tumeric with apple cider vinegar, lemon, or a vanilla and sugar scrub. Be careful when applying anything new to the skin, especially in the sensitive genital area. Start with a spot test to see how your skin reacts.

How do I get rid of bacne?
I've been dealing with bad acne on my back for years now, and it's been making me feel self-conscious. I've tried showering and washing my back more, and I tried cutting out sugar and dairy but nothing helps. I'm starting to feel like it's just something I'm stuck with now. Is there anything at all that actually works to get rid of it?

Is it possible to remove or fade a tattoo at home?
Hello my fellow wikiHowians! Long story short, I’ve got a tattoo I want to get rid of. I’d like to completely remove it if possible, but I’m also down to just cover it up if I can’t remove it. I really can’t afford laser removal right now though, and it’ll be a while before I can cover it up with another tattoo if that’s what needs to happen. I’m curious if there are any DIY tattoo removal methods I could pursue? Are there like…creams or natural solutions that will get rid of the tattoo? Can I replicate laser removal at home? I’d even be down to try just lightening it a bit if I can’t get it fully off.

Any home remedies for chigger bites? So dang itchy
I feel like I've been scratching non-stop since I got back from my last hike, and I know for a fact it's because I got eaten alive by chiggers. Scratching this itch obviously isn't working for me, so I am desperate for any tips and tricks you have to just get me some relief.
