I'm dealing with some skin issues and have a noticeable black spot on my face. I'm considering using Melacare cream and Sunstop 30 cream. Do you think these products would be effective for this kind of problem, or is there something else you would recommend? I'm a bit worried about any potential side effects too.

I've got a boil on my arm and I'm worried it's MRSA because I've dealt with that in the past. I visited the doctor, and they prescribed mupirocin ointment for me, but they said to put it in my nose. I'm a bit confused because the instructions say it's not meant for intranasal use. Do you think I should follow the doctor's advice even though the ointment is labeled for external use?
Mupirocin ointment is indeed meant for external use only and should not be used intranasally, as mentioned in the instructions. If you have concerns about using it in your nose, it would be best to clarify with your doctor or seek a second opinion. For the boil on your arm, your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics such as Bactrim or Clindamycin to treat MRSA infections.

I've got really thin facial hair, and it's not growing in the way I'd like. Do you have any advice on how I can get a fuller, thicker beard? Also, what's your take on using laser treatment for this issue?
To promote fuller and thicker beard growth, you can try using minoxidil solution 5% applied topically on the face once daily. Additionally, taking biotin supplements can also help improve hair growth. Make sure to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals essential for hair growth. As for laser treatment for beard growth, it is not a commonly recommended option. Laser treatments are more commonly used for hair removal rather than hair growth. It's best to stick with topical treatments and supplements for promoting beard growth.
