I've been dealing with these painful, puss-filled boils under my arms that have a really bad smell. My doctor said they would go away with age, but it's been over 45 years and they keep coming and going. I shower twice a day and make sure not to shave, just trim, and I avoid using deodorants, opting for talc instead. I'm really getting frustrated and just want to know if there's anything else I can do or try?

View allI've been noticing these small lumps on my cheekbone, right under my eye. They tend to swell up by themselves and then the swelling goes down after a few days, but then they come back after about a month. It's like a recurring cycle and I'm starting to get scars from them. Should I be worried about these lumps? What could be causing this?
That could be MILIA which is usually self limiting,no need to worry consume balanced diet and maintian healthy life style,do not try to squeeze them or scratch them.

I'm using Eloson HT cream for quite a while, and everything seemed fine. But whenever I stop using it for about 23 days, my skin gets darker. Can you suggest what I should do about this? Also, are there any other creams I could use to make my skin look a bit fairer? Not looking for a huge change, just a little brighter.
Please stop using elosone ht cream as it contains strong steroids which will cause serious side effects. Steroid induced pimples, photosensitivity that is sun sensitivity, rosacea that is red face, atrophy that is skin thinning, stretch marks, pigmentation, dryness, severe itching and hair growth on the face etc to name a few side effects. Reports of skin cancer are also there. Please don't use any such Steroid containing fairness creams. You will require treatment to slowly put you off this cream by using some substitute as the skin becomes addicted to the steroid. Hence you are facing such a problem

I've been dealing with pretty intense body itching for the past four days, and I can't figure out what's causing it. Could you help me understand what might be going on and what medication I could take to feel better?
Severe body itching can be caused by various factors, including dry skin, allergies, insect bites, eczema, psoriasis, or internal diseases like kidney or liver issues; to alleviate itching, try over-the-counter (OTC) antihistamines like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton
