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?

View allI'm dealing with some hair fall issues and stumbled upon Himalaya's anti-hair loss cream. I'm wondering if it's effective for tackling hair fall. Do you think it's worth giving it a try, or should I look for something else?
Himalaya's Anti-Hair Loss Cream may be beneficial for mild hair fall due to its natural ingredients, but its effectiveness varies from person to person, and it's not a substitute for medical treatment for underlying conditions.

I've had this ringworm fungal infection for about a month and a half now, and I've been using Dermi 5 cream regularly, but it doesn't seem to be working. Could you advise me on what I should do next? I'm getting a bit worried here.
If Dermi 5 cream has not been effective in treating your ringworm infection, you can try using Terbinafine cream (brand name Lamisil) twice daily on the affected area for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid sharing personal items to prevent spreading the infection.
