I had a boil on my hip line a few months back, and it had to be surgically cut to drain the pus. I'm starting to feel that same kind of pain again, but theres no actual boil yet. Is there any way to stop it from forming into a full-on boil this time?

I'm really worried because after using Cosmolite cream, my face turned black. I've been dealing with a lot of skin issues since then. I've seen several dermatologists but nothing has helped. Facials haven't worked either. I now have blackheads, pigmentation, and dark circles. What can I do to fix all of this?
Continue same treatment.
