I'm dealing with these recurrent foda in my armpit and they last a few days each time. It's really painful, and I'm not sure what to do to make it stop happening. Any advice on how to treat this?

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.

I'm trying to figure out the differences between Melaglow Cream and Melaglow Rich Cream, and I'm really curious which one is the best for my skin needs. Also, how long should I be using these creams to see a noticeable improvement in my skin tone? I'm just a bit confused and would really appreciate your advice on this.
MELAGLOW RICH CREAM is better for dry skin, while MELAGLOW CREAM is suitable for normal to oily skin. You can use either cream for up to 12 weeks for best results. Apply a thin layer on the affected area once daily in the evening.

I've been using virgin coconut oil on my scalp, and it's been really itchy afterward. Could you help me understand what might be causing this and what steps I should take to fix it?
The problem could be an allergic reaction or irritation to the coconut oil. I recommend you stop using the coconut oil and try using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to help with the itching. You can also take an antihistamine like cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) to help reduce the itching. If the itching persists or gets worse, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.
