I've been using Betnovate N ointment on my face for dark spots and it seemed to work well initially. But after stopping it, my skin's become really dull, has turned black in places, and there's quite a bit of redness too. It's itching like crazy, and it's honestly annoying. I've noticed my skin getting darker, which is really worrying me. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do to fix this?

I'm noticing some pimples near my eye, and they don't hurt at all, but they're getting bigger every day. I'm starting to get a bit concerned about it. Could you give me some advice on what this might be and what I should do?

That could be Chalazion,do not try to squeeze it,it will resolve on its own, visit Ophthalmologist for appropriate management

I've got this boil in my underarm that's developed these tiny mouths or openings on it. The doctor prescribed me Ultimox 625, then switched to Linox 600, and gave me Fusiderm cream to apply. I'm just really anxious if this treatment will actually get rid of the boil for good. What do you think?
