How do you get rid of sunburn overnight?
I don't know of a way to get rid of a sunburn overnight, but I have found that regularly applying cool or cold wash cloth compresses draws the heat out and can limit the redness. I recommend alternating compresses and blue aloe vera gel. Do it continuously for as long as you can! And ibprofen for the pain. :(
My advice would be to go and see your doctor who will perform a few tests on you to see what this is.
Without having no test results it is hard to know what this is. However these are the symptoms of Thrush, when itching a lot and sometimes pain during sex or urination and an increased amount of discharge which can look a little like cottage cheese.
However I cannot be certain of this and the only advice anyone can give you is to go and see your local GP
Please leave me feedback or recommend me if you are satisfied with my answer.

What are the causes of dandruff?
The cause of dandruff is fungus, a bacteria that you have to treat. It is not contageous, and can be effectively treated by some topical solutions, like Luxiq, and shampoos like Loprox.
The dry scalp is caused due to environmental factors and chemical treatments used for styling the hair. The main reason for the dryness being the depletion of moisture level.
Oily scalp is caused by the overproduction of sebum, by the oil glands in the scalp. This could also be due to the inadequate rinsing out of the hair. See related links below.
from your old shampoo or washing your hair too much
Skin on the body undergoes constant renewal. This means that each and every skin cell, once it dies, gets pushed out and replaced by newer, healthier cells underneath.
Dandruff is essentially this process. Those with dandruff have skin on their scalp that sheds quicker than those without it, making the dead skin "flakes" a lot more noticeable.
Dandruff also occurs when the scalp is exposed to extreme temperatures and cause the skin cells on the scalp to dry out and shed quicker.
To prevent it, use hair products such as "Head and Shoulders" that are designed to treat dandruff. Basically, aim for anything that will keep the scalp healthy and moisturized.
dandruf is caused by dirt that has been decayed by not washing your hair for many days
A common cause of dandruff is because of an incompatible dandruff or if the hair is not thoroughly washed.
Does lotion help get rid of a pimple scar?
Unless the lotion contains some form of vitamin C, the chances of it eliminating a pimple scar is very slim. All lotion does is moisturize the skin, nothing more. Pimple scars are very hard to eliminate and therefore the only option would be to decrease the redness by applying either lemon juice, distilled vinegar, tea tree oil, honey, or anything with vitamin C. Creams that specially treat acne scars are also available.
To permanently get rid of acne scars, there are skin resurfacing techniques available. There are also laser treatments which don't seem to work too well. The laser just ends up building more scar tissue underneath your skin.
Best of luck! These scars are a pain in the butt

Humans tend to get acne and blemishes because of grease. Grease occurs because of the hormones in your body. As you may know, there is bacteria all over your body, some are good and some are bad.

The bad thing is, for people who produce a lot of grease, the bacteria gets full and has to "do its business" and the bacteria literally poops on your face, causing pimples. Therefore, answer to the question is because of growth hormones in a humans body, which cause grease, which cause pimples.
