You can try using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin. Apply a thin layer to the affected area 2-3 times a day. If the boil does not improve or gets worse, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm worried because my skin has gotten tanned, but apart from that, it's shiny and healthy-looking. I really want to make it fair again. What can I do to specifically deal with the tan and get back to a fair complexion?

wash your face twice daily and apply good moisturizer and sunscreen, if it doesnt gets resolved and becoming worse, visit dermatologist for evaluating the cause of tanning and appropriate treatment.
