I'm trying to figure out whether I should be bleaching my face before or after getting a facial. I'm 25 with skin that's a bit oily and darker. Can you suggest which bleach and facial treatments would be best for me, and how often I should be doing this each month?

Question

I'm dealing with a ringworm infection and I'm wondering if it's okay to eat chicken. Also, could you explain how people usually catch this infection?

I had a boil on my hip line a few months back, and it had to be surgically cut to drain the pus. I'm starting to feel that same kind of pain again, but theres no actual boil yet. Is there any way to stop it from forming into a full-on boil this time?
