I'm really worried about some stitches I recently had removed from my face after an accident. The marks left behind by the stitches have been bothering me, and I just want to know if there's a way to get rid of those marks so my skin looks like it did before. Also, I'm trying to grow a beard, but I'm not sure if it'll grow over the area where the stitches were. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

I'm dealing with a boil where I've managed to remove the pus, but the core hasn't come out yet. While the pain has gone down, I'm still a bit worried because I've dealt with recurring boils in the past. Right now, I'm dressing it two to three times a day and using Betadine ointment for it. I'm really careful about hygiene when cleaning the boils, but I'm not sure if Betadine is actually good for them. Could you suggest some medicine to help cure the boil and prevent them from coming back?
