I tried using Veet hair removal cream and accidentally got a burn near my genital area. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm not sure what to do to help it heal. Can you suggest any treatments or over-the-counter medicines that might help soothe the pain and irritation? I'm pretty worried about it.

I've got this painful boil or blister kind of thing on the corner of my left eyebrow, and it's really bothering my eyes. It's so uncomfortable that I can't even rub my eyes if I need to. What do you think I should do about it?

You may have a stye, which is a red, painful lump near the edge of the eyelid. You can try using an antibiotic ointment like Bacitracin or Polysporin on the affected area. Apply it gently on the boil 2-3 times a day. You can also use warm compresses to help reduce the pain and promote drainage. Make sure to wash your hands before and after touching the area to prevent further infection. If the pain persists or if there is any vision changes, please consult an eye specialist.
