I'm really struggling with a shiny look on my skin and I'd love to find a way to get rid of it for good without having to deal with any side effects. Do you know of any medications or treatments that might help with this?

To reduce skin shine permanently, consider a combination of lifestyle changes, skincare routines, and medical treatments. Here's a comprehensive approach:
Lifestyle Changes
- Maintain a healthy diet: Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid processed and oily foods.
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to flush out toxins and keep your skin healthy.
- Exercise regularly: Regular physical activity can help reduce stress and improve overall skin health.
- Get enough sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night to help regulate hormones and reduce stress.
Skincare Routine
- Cleanse your skin: Wash your face twice a day with a gentle, oil-free cleanser.
- Exfoliate regularly: Exfoliate once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores.
- Use a toner: Apply a toner to help balance your skin's pH and reduce oil production.
- Apply a moisturizer: Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated without clogging pores.

I'm really worried because my toddler son accidentally scratched my face with his nails, and now there's a scar that's left a black mark. The new skin has already started to come in, but the mark is still there. Could you recommend an ointment or anything I can do to help it fade?
You can apply Mederma ointment on the scar to help reduce its appearance. Apply a thin layer of Mederma gel on the scar twice a day and gently massage it into the skin. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for best results.

I've been dealing with these boils in my pubic area for a few days now, and they're making it tough for me to walk. I've tried using a hot compress and antifungal powder, which helps a bit, but only temporarily. I'm not sure what more I can do. Just in case it matters, I haven't eaten sweets in over two months. Any advice on this would be really appreciated. What could be causing these, and how can I treat them effectively?
It sounds like you may be dealing with a bacterial infection causing the boils. I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin on the boils after cleansing the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, you can take oral antibiotics like Augmentin or Bactrim to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing to reduce friction. If the boils persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.P.s I haven't had sweets since more than 2 months..."
