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've noticed my skin has become really dark and dry from all the travel and exposure to the sun. My face, neck, hands, and feet are all tanned, and it's really bothering me. Could you suggest some good cleansers, sunblocks, and moisturizers that might help? I'm really looking for something effective.

Question

I've just finished a treatment for lichen planus, and the bumps and itching have stopped, thankfully. However, the marks are still visible, and I really want them gone quicker if possible. The dermatologist mentioned they'd fade over time, but is there anything I can do to speed up the process and get rid of these marks in a few months to a year?

Question

I've had this dry patch on the upper right side of my lip for about a month now. It doesnt hurt or itch, but I can definitely feel the dryness. When I woke up this morning, I actually noticed it more and even took some photos. I'm curious about what this could be. Any ideas?
