I'm really worried about this boil that's been causing me pain for the last two days. I saw a nephrologist, and they prescribed some medication for a 5-day course. Is this the right kind of treatment? Should I be doing anything else to help it heal faster?

I have a mole on my forehead that I've had since birth and I'm thinking about getting it removed. How much does the surgery usually cost and will there be a scar after? If it does leave a mark, how long until it fades? Are there any safe ways to remove it at home or is surgery the only option?

Mole removal costs ‚Çπ3,000‚Äì‚Çπ10,000; mild scar may remain and fade in months‚Äîhome removal isn‚Äôt safe.
