I've been dealing with a lot of acne and now have these stubborn nail and acne marks on my face. I'm also still getting some acne. What can I do to get rid of these marks and improve my skin?

To help with acne marks and prevent new acne breakouts, you can use a combination of topical treatments. You can use a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel in the evening to help with acne and improve skin texture. In the morning, you can apply a Vitamin C serum to help with skin brightening and collagen production. Additionally, using a sunscreen during the day is important to prevent further darkening of the marks. Make sure to follow a consistent skincare routine and be patient as it may take some time to see results.

I've been dealing with these recurring boils at the back of my neck right where my hairline is for over 34 years now. They're really painful, and I'm wondering if there's anything more I can do about it. I keep good hygiene and wash my hair every other day with a mild shampoo. Health-wise, I feel fine otherwise. Any advice on what might be causing this or what else I could try?

Recurring boils in the same area can be due to a condition called furunculosis, which is a skin infection involving hair follicles. To help treat and prevent these boils, you can use an antibacterial wash like Hibiclens to cleanse the area daily. Applying an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin can also help. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics like Augmentin to clear the infection. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices and avoiding tight clothing around the neck area can help prevent further outbreaks.

I'm a bit worried about my hair loss. I've been using minoxidil 5% for quite a few years now, but the results have been pretty disappointing. I recently came across this new dutamax lotion that has dutasteride in it. Do you think it's safe or effective to use it on my scalp?
