I've been experiencing a really painful big boil in my right underarm that seems to come back every few months, like maybe every 3 to 4 months. It's really bothering me, and I'm worried about what might be causing it. Can you suggest any remedies or long-term solutions to prevent it from coming back?

I'm 16 and my face looks small compared to my body since I'm 5'11. Is there any natural way to make my face appear bigger without using makeup or surgery?

I've got these burns from hot oil splashing on me in the kitchen a couple of days ago. The blisters have started to open up, and I'm not sure what to do about them. A friend gave me some clobetasol propionate cream 0.05%. Will that actually help with my burns? Most of them are small on my right arm and chest, but there are a few as big as 12 inches. Im kind of unsure about using this cream on the burns. Could you advise?

Yes you can use it,rather than that u can also use megaheal or silkal gel for good results

I'm really worried about my sister's skin. She's got a naturally dusky tone, but her job in sales means she's out in the field a lot, and it's made her skin even darker. I think it's because of increased melanin from all that sun exposure. Can you recommend any remedies to reduce the tanning and help get her skin back to its original color?

kindly consult dermatologist.
