I'm a 28-year-old female and I've been taking this medicine, but I'm a bit worried because it seems like it's causing me to grow unwanted hair on my body. Is this a common side effect, or should I be concerned?

View allI'm dealing with a boil where I've managed to remove the pus, but the core hasn't come out yet. While the pain has gone down, I'm still a bit worried because I've dealt with recurring boils in the past. Right now, I'm dressing it two to three times a day and using Betadine ointment for it. I'm really careful about hygiene when cleaning the boils, but I'm not sure if Betadine is actually good for them. Could you suggest some medicine to help cure the boil and prevent them from coming back?
Take tab augmentin 625 mg orally,thrice daily for atleast 5 days .

I'm constantly washing my penis, but the skin on the tip is still cracked. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?
washing it frequently would make it dry and lack of moist, wash it when you take bath and that's enough,if it is causing symptoms like pain or burning sensation visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm using Eloson HT cream for quite a while, and everything seemed fine. But whenever I stop using it for about 23 days, my skin gets darker. Can you suggest what I should do about this? Also, are there any other creams I could use to make my skin look a bit fairer? Not looking for a huge change, just a little brighter.
Please stop using elosone ht cream as it contains strong steroids which will cause serious side effects. Steroid induced pimples, photosensitivity that is sun sensitivity, rosacea that is red face, atrophy that is skin thinning, stretch marks, pigmentation, dryness, severe itching and hair growth on the face etc to name a few side effects. Reports of skin cancer are also there. Please don't use any such Steroid containing fairness creams. You will require treatment to slowly put you off this cream by using some substitute as the skin becomes addicted to the steroid. Hence you are facing such a problem
