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 ringworm around my groin for the past couple of months. I've tried a bunch of creams with no luck, but then a friend recommended Sapatlotion. It finally worked, but now its left this black scar in the area that was infected. Is there any way to get rid of this scar, and how long might that take? Can you recommend any effective scar removal creams?

Scar Removal Creams* 1. *Cicatricure Cream*: Helps reduce appearance of scars. 2. *Kojivit Gel*: Fades scars and hyperpigmentation. 3. *Dermatix Ultra Gel*: Reduces scar appearance and texture. 4. *Hiruscar Gel*: Helps flatten and soften scars. *Additional Tips* 1. *Massage*: Gently massage the scar tissue with a gentle, circular motion. 2. *Sun protection*: Avoid direct sun exposure, as it can darken the scar. 3. *Time*: Scar removal can take several months to a year or more.
