I've been seeing this vertical brown line on my thumb for a few months now. Should I get it checked out?

Got these water boils on my back and under my left arm near the breast. They're kinda painful, and I do get this very mild, rare itch. Also, sometimes I feel a pinch of pain in my chest. Could you suggest any medicine for this? Is it something serious, or is it curable?

No need to worry it's curable,do not scratch it or squeeze it, Visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.

I've been dealing with some issues ever since I took phosphorus 30c when I was younger, around 14-18 years old. I think it might've helped increase my hair back then, but now it seems like I'm facing some side effects. I've developed seborrheic dermatitis, and even though I wash my hair daily with shampoo, small hairs keep falling from my scalp. It's been impossible to grow my hair long without things getting worse. It's been around 5 years now, and I'm really struggling. Do you think the phosphorus might've caused this, and what can I do to improve my situation?
