Hey, I've got these scars on my buttocks from boils that were treated with mupirocin ointment, but the scars just won't go away. Do you have any advice on how I can get rid of them?

To help reduce scars from boils on your buttocks, you can try using a silicone gel or vitamin E oil, which promotes healing. Gently massage the area and be patient, as scar healing takes time. If the scars persist, consult a dermatologist for further treatment options.

I've been using hydroquinone in the past to get flawless skin, and it worked really well for me. But then I had an acne breakout, so I stopped using it and switched to benzoyl peroxide cream. That cleared up my pimples, but now my skin is dark and pigmented. I'm not sure if I should start using hydroquinone again for the hyperpigmentation or if a chemical peel would be a better option. What do you think would work best for my situation?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
