Face wash with either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide may help in removing dead skin cells which clogs the pores leading to acne. Either of them may help only in mild grade of acne. You can choose face wash with salicylic acid if you have blackheads, whiteheads and comedones and face wash with benzoyl peroxide if you have pus filled pimples.

I'm dealing with these recurrent foda in my armpit and they last a few days each time. It's really painful, and I'm not sure what to do to make it stop happening. Any advice on how to treat this?

To help treat this condition, you can use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and apply it to the affected area twice a day after cleaning the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. If the boils persist or worsen, you may need to see a doctor for further evaluation and possibly a prescription for oral antibiotics.

I've been dealing with these recurring boils on my head for the last three years and just found out it's folliculitis. I've been told to take Althrocin 250, three times a day after meals for a week. Do you think this will completely cure my folliculitis?

Yes that would help, follow your doctors advice

I'm a 23-year-old guy and I've noticed that I have puffy nipples. They look normal when it's cold, but when it's warm, they get really puffy again. It makes me feel super self-conscious about taking my shirt off. I'm pretty sure it's not gynecomastia because there aren't any lumps under the nipples. Is there anything I can do that might help with this?

use primrose oil and massage it
