I've got this painful boil or blister kind of thing on the corner of my left eyebrow, and it's really bothering my eyes. It's so uncomfortable that I can't even rub my eyes if I need to. What do you think I should do about it?

You may have a stye, which is a red, painful lump near the edge of the eyelid. You can try using an antibiotic ointment like Bacitracin or Polysporin on the affected area. Apply it gently on the boil 2-3 times a day. You can also use warm compresses to help reduce the pain and promote drainage. Make sure to wash your hands before and after touching the area to prevent further infection. If the pain persists or if there is any vision changes, please consult an eye specialist.

I've got this annoying cystic acne on one of my buttocks, and it's super painful and inflamed. In the past, I've had cystic acne on my cheek and chest, and my doctor recommended Nadoxin, which worked back then. But now, using Nadoxin on this one doesn't seem to do the trick. Should I stick with Nadoxin, or do I need to try something else?

Considering the severity of your cystic acne on your buttock, it may be beneficial to switch to a more potent medication. I recommend stopping the use of Nadoxin and consulting with your doctor for a prescription of a stronger topical antibiotic like Duac gel. Additionally, an oral antibiotic like Doxycycline may be necessary to help reduce inflammation and control the infection. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions for proper dosage and duration of treatment.

I'm really curious about how well Finpecia works if I stick to using it for the rest of my life. Does it mean I won't lose any more hair? Also, I'm having a hard time deciding between Finpecia and Finax. Is one better than the other in terms of maintaining my hair?

Finpecia is a brand name for finasteride, which is commonly used to treat male pattern baldness. It is effective in slowing down hair loss and promoting hair regrowth in some individuals. However, it may not fully restore all lost hair. Consistent and long-term use of finpecia can help maintain the existing hair and prevent further hair loss. Both finpecia and finax contain the same active ingredient, finasteride. Therefore, they are equally effective in treating hair loss. The choice between finpecia and finax can depend on individual preferences and tolerability. It is important to follow the recommended dosage as prescribed by your healthcare provider for optimal results.
