I've got this boil on my back and I tried using a belladonna plaster to draw out the pus, but after two days, there was no pus. Instead, the boil turned a little yellow and got a bit bigger. When I squeezed it, only a tiny bit of blood came out and now there's a small hole in it. Some people here suggested using a paan leaf with deshi ghee. Should I be worried about this? Is it just a regular boil or something else? I'm pretty anxious about it. Could really use some advice.

Question

I'm struggling with these really itchy rashes on my trunk and hands. I initially tried taking fexodine 180 mg twice a day but didn't see any improvement. Then, I switched to prednisolone 20 combined with cetirizine, but it's been five days and there's still no relief. Is there anything else I should try or any advice you could give? I'm getting pretty worried about this situation.

Question

Can I use Triben B cream to lighten the marks left behind after recovering from a fungal infection? I've been using Clobetamil G as my doctor prescribed, but I'm curious if Triben B might help with the discoloration or marks. What do you think?
