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?

View allI'm feeling warm all the time, but I don't have a fever. It's odd, and I'm not sure what's causing it. What could be the reason for this?
This can be caused by various underlying issues such as infections, inflammation, thyroid disorders, or certain medications. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I've got these old keloid and hypertrophic scars and I'm wondering if using Contractubex and a silicone gel sheet will help flatten them out now. Do you think these treatments could work at this stage?
Contractubex gel and silicon gel sheets can help improve the appearance of old keloid and hypertrophic scars. Apply Contractubex gel thinly on the affected area 2-3 times a day and gently massage it in. For silicon gel sheets, cut the sheet to fit the scar, apply it to clean dry skin for at least 12 hours a day. Consistent use over a period of several months may help flatten and soften the scars.

I'm feeling under the weather with a fever and I'm already on syntran 100 for a ringworm infection. I'm really wondering if it's safe to take paracetamol along with my current meds. I'm a bit concerned and would really appreciate any advice you could give!
