I've had this scar on my left arm for about 4 years now from a cut, and I'm really hoping to either get rid of it or at least make it less noticeable or flatten it. What do you recommend for situations like this?

When's the best time to take Humdard Safi for maximum effectiveness? I'm taking it on an empty stomach but experiencing loose motions. Someone mentioned this might just be a temporary thing. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

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?
