Question

I'm sorry, I know I've submitted both of these questions twice before but I'm not sure if you got them.

1) If someone memorizes portions of the Quran, purely by accident, from listening to it too often, are the responsible for making sure they don't forget those ayahs?

2) I am a woman who has an unfortunate problem with excess hair, due to a medical condition I used to have. Alhumduilillah the medical problem has been dealt with, but the excess hair that was a symptom of it still bothers me. I am currently undergoing laser treatment on my face to remove all the hair there, and Alhumdilillah it seems to be going well so far and I wanted to get the rest of my body done as well. Since the hair growth was caused by a medical condition, hence isn't normal, would I be excused to get laser treatment done in the region that counts as satr (thighs, back, stomach) but is not actually between the legs? Unfortunately other methods I've tried do not work properly for me because they leave hair behind or my skin is too sensitive.
