I'm a 13-year-old and I'm thinking about using Garnier men's face wash, specifically the Acne Fight one. Is it safe for someone my age to use, or are there any possible side effects I should be aware of?

I've been struggling with these heat boils that show up around my private area whenever I'm about to have my period. They're filled with pus and even blood sometimes, and it's incredibly painful. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

This could be due to a condition called folliculitis or an infection of the hair follicles. To help with this issue, you can try using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin on the affected area twice a day after cleaning the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, taking a course of oral antibiotics like Augmentin or Keflex as prescribed by a doctor can also help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing to prevent further irritation. If the boils persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
