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?

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.
