I got this boil on my nose about two weeks ago. At first, it was just a red bump, but then it filled up with pus. It wouldn't pop on its own, so I decided to pop and drain it yesterday. Now it's all red and swollen. What should I do now?

View allI'm dealing with a dry skin issue that persists even during the summer, and if I forget to use moisturizer, the situation becomes quite severe. I've already seen a few doctors around here, but unfortunately, I haven't noticed any improvement. After doing some research online, I found that my symptoms align with ichthyosis vulgaris, and I'm really worried about this condition. Could you offer some advice or guidance?
Ichthyosis vulgaris is a possible cause of your dry skin symptoms, and consulting a dermatologist for a definitive diagnosis and personalized guidance is crucial; in the meantime, consider these general tips to help manage dry skin: use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers, apply moisturizers immediately after bathing, use humidifiers to maintain a humid environment, avoid harsh soaps and exfoliants, and wear breathable clothing; also, explore over-the-counter (OTC) treatments containing urea, hyaluronic acid, or ceramides, which can help lock in moisture and soothe dry ski

Ever since I used Veet hair removal cream on my bikini area a few weeks back, my vagina's been feeling really inflamed and irritated. Things improved a bit once the hair grew back, but now I'm still super itchy around the outer labia at night, even though everything seems normal during the day with no weird discharge. I'm trying hard not to scratch so I don't make it worse, but it's really messing with my sleep. What should I do?
Lulican cream for local application for 2 weeks and tab levocetrizine 10 mg for atleast 5 days is advised to the patient.
