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'm looking for a skin whitening cream that works well for both my face and body. I want something that provides maximum benefits and shows quick results. Can you recommend a good one?

There can be several causes why your skin would turn dark or you may get pigmentation. Sun tan, overweight, pigmentation disorders like acanthosis nigricans or melasma, nutritional deficiency etc are some conditions. Unless someone examines you, we cannot know the cause. Unless we find out the cause it is difficult and pointless to treat consult dermatologist

I'm getting this rash in the center of my chest. It mostly shows up at night, and it's slightly itchy and reddish. What could this be? Should I be worried?

Usually it comes while night. It's slightly itchy and reddish. This description sounds like it could be a case of contact dermatitis or eczema. I recommend using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) to help with the itching. Additionally, applying a hydrocortisone cream like Cortaid to the affected area can help reduce inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid any potential triggers that may be causing the rash. If the rash persists or worsens, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
