I have this boil on my right thigh that's been bothering me for the last three days. The skin around it is really red and it's pretty painful. What kind of antibiotic should I consider for this? I'm a bit worried.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For the boil on your thigh, along with the redness and pain, you can take an antibiotic like Amoxicillin-Clavulanate (brand name Augmentin) 625mg twice a day for 7-10 days. Additionally, you can also apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area to help with the healing process.

View allI'm really struggling with dark circles and marks under my eyes. I've tried all sorts of face creams, face packs, and washes, but nothing seems to help. My skin is this annoying mix of oily and combination, and it always just looks dull. Do you have any advice on tablets or creams I should try?
For dark circles and dull skin, you can try using a combination of Vitamin C serum and retinol cream. You can use a Vitamin C serum in the morning to brighten the skin and reduce dark circles, and a retinol cream at night to improve skin texture and reduce marks. Additionally, you can consider taking Vitamin C supplements to further boost skin health. Make sure to use a non-comedogenic moisturizer suitable for oily and combination skin to keep your skin hydrated.

I've been dealing with hair fall issues and my hair just isn't growing after a certain point. I'm pretty concerned and I've heard about these capsulesBecadexamin and Keraglo Evafor hair regrowth. Could you help me figure out which one would be better for me? I'm really curious if one is more effective than the other.
For hair re-growth, both Becadexamin and Keraglo Eva are viable options, but Keraglo Eva seems to have a more comprehensive formula, containing biotin, vitamin B12, and other nutrients that promote hair growth and strengthen hair follicles. However, it's essential to consult a doctor before starting any supplements, as they can recommend the best course of treatment for your specific hair concerns.

I'm really curious about using Fair & Lovely, Vicco turmeric cream, and Himalaya fairness cream on my face. Are these creams safe for facial skin, and which one would you recommend as the best option? I've heard different things and just want to make sure I'm choosing the right one for my skin. Any advice would be great!
Among these, Vicco turmeric cream is considered safer as it contains natural ingredients like turmeric which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is best to use Vicco turmeric cream for the face. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the face once or twice daily for best results.
