Question 1

I'm having these really painful lumps under my arms and they're starting to form pus. It's super uncomfortable and only seems to get better when the pus drains out. Could you recommend a cream or maybe an antibiotic that could help with this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing an infection, possibly an abscess or hidradenitis suppurativa. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, applying warm compresses can help relieve pain, and an antibiotic cream like **mupirocin** might be helpful if prescribed. If the condition worsens, oral antibiotics may be necessary.

Question 2

I've been taking BTN ultra tablets to help control my grey hair since my doctor first recommended them back in 2016. I used them pretty regularly at that time, and then again on and off in 2017 and 2018, and I didn't notice any negative effects. My doctor mentioned that if I want to continue using these tablets, it's best to do it randomly, like using them for a couple of weeks and then taking a break. So, I'm wondering if its safe to keep using BTN ultra in this random way in the future. Also, is there any risk of side effects from using biotin mineral tablets long-term, even if its not continuous? I'd really appreciate your guidance on this!

Question 3

I've been dealing with really dark and pigmented knees, and it's super embarrassing. I've tried using brightening creams and even a bunch of home remedies, but nothing seems to work. Could you recommend any medication or treatment that might help?

Accepted Answer

Dark and pigmented knees can be a cosmetic concern. Here are some suggestions:

*Topical Treatments*

1. *Hydroquinone cream*: A common treatment for hyperpigmentation. However, use it under a dermatologist's guidance.
2. *Kojic acid cream*: Helps reduce melanin production and hyperpigmentation.
3. *Retinoid cream*: Derivatives of vitamin A that can help reduce hyperpigmentation.

*Home Remedies*

1. *Lemon juice and honey*: Mix equal parts lemon juice and honey, apply to knees, and rinse after 20 minutes.
2. *Cucumber and turmeric*: Grate cucumber, mix with turmeric powder, and apply to knees.
3. *Coconut oil and sugar*: Mix coconut oil and sugar, gently scrub knees, and rinse.
