How to treat painful boil in pubis?

Hello doctor,

I am 21 years old. I recently shaved my pubic region for the first time, but because of half-knowledge and no experience. I shaved in both downward and upward direction. Now I have got a boil over an ingrown hair which has turned the region red and swelled up. It pains a lot and I could see a tiny little hair which might be the reason of this. I have been using hot water compresses over it but of no help. Can someone please help me in this regard?

How to treat red itchy spots around the chest and shoulder?

Hello doctor,

I have an itchy and big circular red spot on my back. I discovered it three days ago. And then yesterday, I also noticed more small red spots around my chest and shoulder. Is it fungal infection or ringworm? What is the best or fast remedy for this? I used to have these before when I was younger and was not a fan of topical cream, as I feel like it does not entirely kill its roots.

Is it possible to lose tyrosinase activity of skin after using Alpha Arbutin?

Hi doctor,

Here is the problem: It appeared that I stopped the "tyrosinase" activity of my skin with a product called "Alpha Arbutin", mistaking it with an other product. Since, the melanin on the highest surface of my skin completely dissapeared. I slightly begin a depression and a depersonalization after months to not succeed to recognise myself in the mirror because of the result not being very fitable with what my entourage and me used to appreciate. After hundred of solutions through other products (vitamins, stem cells for example) and sun tannings, nothing is like before. Would it be a miracle way to have my original skin back? As minor the problem sounds, it is a very important one to me. I just want to recover my normal epidermis.
