I've been using this bleaching cream called Oxy every month, and it gives me a fair look for just two days, then my skin goes back to normal. But now, after using bleach so much, my skin is starting to get darker, and I feel like I have to use bleach to make it better, which just seems to make it permanently darker. I'm really worried and curious if bleach cream is actually safe to use. Does it actually help? And since my skin's getting darker from it, what can I do to avoid this or make it better? Any advice on creams or tablets would be really appreciated.

I have a boil near my hip line and the doctor I saw recommended surgery. Is there any way to treat it without going under the knife? I'm a bit worried and wondering if other options might work.

Apply a warm washcloth or compress to the affected area several times a day, for about 10 minutes each time. This helps the boil rupture and drain more quickly. Never squeeze or lance a boil yourself.

I've been dealing with really bad hair loss for the past two years, and now my receding hairline is super noticeable. It's really affecting my confidence, and I'm thinking about getting a hair transplant. Can anyone recommend good but affordable hair transplant clinics or surgeons? I don't have a huge budget for this.

I can understand the emotions you are goin through cause of hair loss. I suggest u see a dermatologist for hair transplantation. Cause depending on the type an grade of your hair loss the number of grafts required can be decided. And the cost of hairtransplant depends on the number of grafts used
