Question

I've got some really bad boils and I'm not sure what to do. Should I see a surgeon or maybe a dermatologist? I'm kind of worried and just want to make sure I go to the right specialist. Any advice?

You should consult with a dermatologist for the treatment of severe boils. They specialize in skin conditions and can provide you with the appropriate care. In the meantime, you can use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and apply it to the affected area twice a day to help with healing.

Question

I'm feeling pretty worried about these acne marks on my nose. I've been using Aziclear serum like my dermatologist suggested, but it's been over 6 weeks and I haven't noticed much change. The mark has lightened just a little bit, but now it feels even more obvious because of its size. My skin is generally dry, and I've got blackheads and bumps mostly just on my nose. Do you have any advice on what I could do or should I consider something else?

Question
