I've got this boil on my chin and the area around it is swollen and really painful. I took Combliflom, which helps with the pain, but not with the boil itself. What should I do to actually treat the boil?

I've been dealing with these persistent pimples that start small but get pretty big and filled with pus over about 12 days. The skin underneath gets hard and it really hurts. When I try to squeeze them, a bit of pus and blood comes out. After about a week, they leave behind a black spot but then new ones keep coming up right after the old ones disappear. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on with my skin. Any idea what this could be?

Based on your description, it sounds like you are experiencing recurrent episodes of acne. To help treat this, you can use a topical treatment containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid to help reduce inflammation and prevent new breakouts. You can try using a brand like "Differin Gel" or "Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Treatment" on the affected areas once daily. Additionally, maintaining a good skincare routine and avoiding picking or squeezing the pimples can also help prevent further breakouts.

I've noticed that my fingernails used to have lunula, but now it seems like only my thumbs still have them, and even those are shrinking. I've heard that lunula is a sign of good health. What can I do to get them back? I'm a bit worried about what this means for my health.
