I've got this boil on my right testicle that showed up a couple of days ago. Yesterday, pus started coming out of it, and the area around it is really hard and constantly hurts. I'm not sure what to do. Can you help me figure this out?

I'm really concerned about these dark circles under my eyes. Is it safe to use mometasone cream for them? I heard about something called MMS cream, any idea what brand that is? And, by the way, are there any potential side effects I should worry about?

Avoid using Mometasone cream (brand names: MMS Cream, Elocon, Momate) for dark circles under the eyes, as it can cause side effects like skin thinning, glaucoma, cataract formation, rosacea-like symptoms, and dependence, instead consider alternative eye creams or consult a dermatologist.

I've had these hickey-like marks on my neck for around 5 months now, and they just won't go away. I haven't applied the keto cream for a few days, but it doesn't seem to be making any difference anyway. What should I do? Any advice would be appreciated.
