I'm dealing with this boil on my right buttock, and it's really painful. Sometimes, the pain even causes me to run a fever. The skin around it has turned red and looks pretty inflamed. Any idea what I should do about it?

Question

I'm really struggling with acne and it has been going on for quite a while now. I've tried so many creams but I think I've actually made my skin worse. My face feels dull and hyperpigmented and it's really taking a toll on my self-confidence. What can I do to improve my skin naturally and regain my confidence?

Question

I've been dealing with male pattern baldness and initially tried minoxidil and finasteride, which seemed to help with the hair fall for a while, but then I noticed more shedding after stopping them. My doctor recently suggested using Folica hair tincture to manage my hair loss and dandruff. However, I've heard this treatment is mainly for alopecia areata. Is it actually suitable for MPB, and should I be concerned about any potential side effects?

Question

I'm really worried about this genital wart around my anus. I started using Podowart after talking to my doctor, but now the whole area is swollen and has turned a whitish-red color. The wart still hasn't fallen off, and there's a weird rotten smell coming from the skin. Could this mean the wart virus is spreading? Is there an antibiotic I should use to prevent any infection? It's even making it hard for me to sit or go to the bathroom.
