Question

I've got this painful boil or blister kind of thing on the corner of my left eyebrow, and it's really bothering my eyes. It's so uncomfortable that I can't even rub my eyes if I need to. What do you think I should do about it?

You may have a stye, which is a red, painful lump near the edge of the eyelid. You can try using an antibiotic ointment like Bacitracin or Polysporin on the affected area. Apply it gently on the boil 2-3 times a day. You can also use warm compresses to help reduce the pain and promote drainage. Make sure to wash your hands before and after touching the area to prevent further infection. If the pain persists or if there is any vision changes, please consult an eye specialist.

I'm dealing with a fungal infection that's been around for years and it's really bothering me. It's located on my inner thighs and has left a dark brown patch. I'm not sure if my diet could be affecting this, but I am a non-vegetarian. Could you offer any advice or treatment options?

Question

I'm using Ilumax skin brightening cream by Ajanta to help with tanning and get a fairer skin tone. I'm curious, how long does it usually take to start seeing results with this cream? Also, how long should I continue using it to maintain the fairness? I'm a bit worried about what happens after I stop using the cream. Will my skin get darker again? Any advice would be really appreciated.
