I've got this heat bump on my left buttock that's been around for about six days now. It's getting bigger and it's really painful. Also, I've been having a fever. Could you suggest any creams or medication for it? And are there certain foods I should avoid? Should I stick with regular soap for cleaning it, or is there a special soap I should be using instead?

I'm really curious if onion juice can actually help with reducing hair fall or if it's just a myth. Ive also got a few bald patches and heard that it might help regrow hair there. Plus, can it really blacken white hair? Im unsure how much of this is true and would love your advice.

Yes onion juice reduce hair fall.

I'm a bit worried because I've been using this vcx vitamin C serum my doctor told me to use every morning after washing my face, and instead of brightening my skin, it seems like my skin is getting darker. I've stopped using it for now but noticed that the serum has turned dark and has a weird smell. Is it still safe to use? Should I be applying this stuff in the morning or at night instead? My skin's pretty sensitive and has a bit of a dark wheatish tone, so I'm kinda concerned. Any advice would really help.

I've been noticing some white spots on my face for the past week. They're a bit rough and sometimes itchy. Usually, when this happens every couple of months, I use Clobetamil G and they go away. This time, though, it doesn't seem to be working. I'm starting to get a bit worried. What do you think might be going on?
