I've been dealing with these painful boils under my skin near my buttocks, and they're filled with pus. It's really uncomfortable and I'm getting worried. Could you help me understand why this is happening and what I should do about it?

I'm really concerned about finding an effective full body fairness treatment. I've tried so many different methods, but the results only last for a few days. Can you suggest something longer-lasting or maybe explain why this keeps happening?

I tried all the way to get the results. Some treatment giving result for some days. For full body fairness treatment, you can consider using a combination of topical creams containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. You can use Kojic acid based soap for bathing. Additionally, you can take oral antioxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin E. It is important to use sunscreen with a high SPF during the day to protect your skin from further damage. Consult a dermatologist for a personalized treatment plan and dosage recommendations.

I recently started using a new sunscreen and I've noticed that my skin feels a bit darker and dull after applying it. Is this something normal with sunscreens, or should I consider switching to a different one?

If you experience darkening or dullness after applying sunscreen, it may be due to the product's ingredients, such as oxybenzone or avobenzone, and consider switching to a physical sunscreen containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which are less likely to cause this issue.
