I've developed this heat boil on my lower abdomen and it's really bothering me. I just started working out and have added boiled egg whites and whey protein to my diet. Could these changes be causing it? What should I do to get rid of it? Would love some advice!

Can I use Retino-A cream for my dark underarms? Will it help in lightening my skin? I also have dark areas near my neck and inner thighs. Can I apply Retino-A cream there as well?
Retino-A cream, containing tretinoin (a derivative of vitamin A), is primarily used to treat acne, fine lines, and skin discoloration. Using Retino-A Cream for Dark Underarms and Other Areas: Retino-A cream can help lighten dark areas by: 1. Inhibiting melanin production: Tretinoin can reduce the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin darkening. 2. Exfoliating the skin: Retino-A cream can help remove dead skin cells, revealing brighter, more even-toned skin. Areas Where You Can Use Retino-A Cream: 1. Dark underarms: Yes, you can use Retino-A cream on your underarms. However, be cautious, as the skin in this area can be sensitive. 2. Dark area near the neck: You can use Retino-A cream on the neck area, but be gentle, as the skin here can be delicate. 3. Dark inner thighs: While you can use Retino-A cream on the inner thighs, be aware that the skin in this area can be sensitive and prone to irritation. Precautions and Tips: 1. Start with a low concentration: Begin with a lower concentration of tretinoin (around 0.025%) and gradually increase as your skin becomes more tolerant. 2. Use it at night: Apply Retino-A cream at night, as it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. 3. Moisturize: Use a gentle moisturizer to help soothe and hydrate your skin, reducing the risk of irritation. 4. Be patient: It may take several weeks to see noticeable improvements in skin tone and texture. 5. Consult a dermatologist: If you're unsure about using Retino-A cream or have sensitive skin, consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance.

I've been told to use Anaboom AD lotion, but the pharmacist gave me Anaboom AD Shampoo instead and said to use it like a lotion. I'm not sure if that's okay. Can I use the shampoo in place of the lotion, or do I need to get the right product?
You have to get Aboom AD lotion,not the shampoo
