I'm dealing with a boil near my buttock, kind of close to the anus, and it's been there for the past two days. It's not too big yet but is a bit painful, especially when I sit down. There's just this one boil, but I'm really worried it might grow larger and become more painful. I started taking Augmentin 625 mg once a day at night and so far, I've only taken one tablet last night. Should I keep taking the antibiotics? Is it even necessary? Some of my friends mentioned it might be due to body heatcould that be true? This is the first time I've experienced something like this, and I could really use some advice.

View allI've been noticing these pimples popping up on my lower back, especially on both sides around the waist, and they're turning into black spots. It's also happening on my upper arms. Should I be concerned about this? What could be causing it, and what can I do to make them go away?
That looks like keratosis pilaris? if it is so take bath twice daily and use good moisturizer two times a day that will work , if it still persists visit dermatologist topical lotions.

I've been struggling with some hair issues after a bad case of chicken pox back in 2016. About five months post-recovery, my hairline started receding, and my hair seemed to get thinner. By the next year, the temple area receded by an inch and my hair lost strength. I started taking dietary supplements six months ago as per my doctor's advice, and I'm noticing a slight improvement in thickness, but my temple hairline hasn't shown any progress. Can you shed some light on whether my temple hair will eventually grow back, and how long it might take for my hair follicles to recover after chicken pox?

I have dark black pimple marks on my face and I'm really worried about them. Can you suggest some medicines or treatments to fade them? I don't want to go for facial surgery what other options do I have?
Dark pimple marks can fade with creams like hydroquinone, tretinoin, or azelaic acid; chemical peels or laser treatments are non-surgical options with good results.
