I'm 22 and have always had short and thin hair, just like my mom and grandma. I really want to make my hair thicker and longer. Can you tell me how long it might take for it to grow out? I'm also open to coming by your hospital for a visit.

View allI've got some boils on my thighs and I've been taking amox capsules for them. Is that the right way to go about it, or should I be doing something else? What's the best way to treat these boils?
Taking Amox capsules for boils on your thighs may be incorrect without a proper diagnosis, as boils are typically caused by bacterial infections like Staphylococcus aureus, and Amox capsules are usually prescribed for specific bacterial infections; instead, try applying warm compresses to the affected area, keeping it clean with antibacterial soap, and seeking medical attention if the boil becomes severely painful, large, or accompanied by fever or pus.

I've got a kiss mark on my neck and I'm worried about how to get rid of it. It's just blood that's clotted and left a mark, but it doesn't hurt. Any ideas on what I can do to make it disappear faster?
To remove the mark from the kiss mark on your neck, you can apply a cold compress to reduce any swelling and help with the clotting. You can also apply a topical arnica cream to help with bruising. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen can help with any discomfort. If the mark persists or if you have any concerns, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
