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.

View allI've been dealing with really painful pimples on my face and I think they show up after I eat curd with my meals. It's been happening a lot lately, and I'm pretty concerned. Could the curd be the cause of my breakouts? I'd really appreciate any advice or insight into what's going on.

I'm really worried because I've got these big white patches on my feet that started appearing a while back. I've been seeing a dermatologist since August, but there hasn't been any improvement so far. I've been using Pacroma, Topcort, and Vitix, and before that, I was on Olmis and Melgain. Plus, I've been taking antioxidants. I'm just really anxious about this and wondering if there's anything else I should be doing to help with this condition?
It seems like you are suffering from vitiligo, a skin condition that causes loss of skin color in patches. The treatment you are currently on includes Pacroma (Tacrolimus) and Topcort (Clobetasol) which are used to help repigment the skin. In addition to these, you can continue using Vitix (Khellin) which is also beneficial for vitiligo. Since you mentioned that you were previously advised to use Olmis instead of Pacroma and Melgain, you can discuss with your dermatologist about switching back to Olmis (Pimecrolimus) if there was no improvement with Pacroma. Continue taking antioxidants as they can help in overall skin health. It's important to follow your dermatologist's advice closely and have regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.

I've got a kiss mark on my neck and I'm worried about how to get rid of it. It's just blood that's clotted and left a mark, but it doesn't hurt. Any ideas on what I can do to make it disappear faster?
To remove the mark from the kiss mark on your neck, you can apply a cold compress to reduce any swelling and help with the clotting. You can also apply a topical arnica cream to help with bruising. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen can help with any discomfort. If the mark persists or if you have any concerns, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
