To help treat this condition, you can use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and apply it to the affected area twice a day after cleaning the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. If the boils persist or worsen, you may need to see a doctor for further evaluation and possibly a prescription for oral antibiotics.

Question

My friend is experiencing a lot of hair fall and seems to be going bald. I'm really curious and a bit worried. Is there a way to actually regrow hair on a bald head?

I've noticed that my lips have been super dry lately, even though I've been taking riboflavin supplements and using seacod. I've also been applying Betnovate N ointment, but nothing seems to help. Should I be worried, or is there something else I should be doing to fix this?

Question

I've been using Mintop Forte 5 and I'm a bit worried about possible side effects. If I stop using it, am I going to lose the hair I've already got, or is it likely to stay?
