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?

I've been dealing with these dark spots on my face for quite a while now and despite trying different products, nothing seems to work. Could you please recommend a medicine that might help in getting rid of them?

Dark spots on the face can be treated with topical creams containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. You can apply a thin layer of Melalite cream on the dark spots once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF during the day can help prevent further darkening of the spots. Remember to consult a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.

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?
