I'm dealing with this boil on my right buttock, and it's really painful. Sometimes, the pain even causes me to run a fever. The skin around it has turned red and looks pretty inflamed. Any idea what I should do about it?

I've had this lump filled with pus on one of my butt cheeks for about a month now, and it was really painful. I pressed on it to get the pus out, and while it's not inflamed or painful anymore, the skin's still hard. Do you know how I can get rid of the scar and get my skin back to normal? Also, I'm wondering why this happened in the first place and how I can prevent it from happening again.

I've noticed these brown scars under both of my arms for over two months now. I'm 42 and they don't itch or hurt, but I'm wondering what might be going on. Should I be worried about these scars?

You may be dealing with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can occur after skin trauma or inflammation. To help lighten the brown scars, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, twice daily on the affected areas. Additionally, applying sunscreen with a high SPF daily can prevent further darkening of the scars. If the scars do not improve with these measures, you may consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.
