I've had this boil on the side of my little finger for almost a month now, and it just won't go away. It's not painful, but I'm starting to get worried. Is there any ointment I can use to help drain it?

I'm really unsure about which doctor to see for genital warts. Is there anything I can try to get rid of them on my own? I could really use some advice.

I've noticed these super tiny holes on my palms and the bottoms of my feet. On my palms, they're mostly aligned with the lines, which makes my skin feel kind of rough. There's no pain or anything, but it's not looking great and my skin's not smooth because of it. Do you have any suggestions for an ointment or treatment that might help get rid of these?

I'm using Beneria Expert Skin Brightening Gel and Deriva CMS Gel at night. I'm not sure which one I should put on first. Should I go with the Beneria Gel and then apply the CMS Gel after?
