View allI'm dealing with this pesky bump on my right cheek that's full of pus. It popped last Friday night, and I squeezed out the pus myself. But now theres a hard area near where it was, and Im wondering if its got more pus inside. What do you think I should do about it?
Given the persistent hardness and potential remaining pus near the furuncle (boil) site, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and guidance; in the meantime, continue warm compresses (3-4 times a day) to promote drainage, keep the area clean with mild soap and water, and avoid squeezing or picking at the site to prevent infection spread.

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 hoping to get some advice on using erytop cream for my acne. Should I be applying it in the morning or at night? Also, I'm 22 and just a bit concerned about any side effects if I use it for a long time. What's your take on that?
For acne treatment with Erytop cream, it is usually recommended to apply it at night before bedtime. Cleanse your face before applying a thin layer of Erytop cream on the affected areas. As for long term use, Erytop cream may cause side effects such as dryness, redness, peeling, or irritation of the skin. It is important to use a good moisturizer and sunscreen during the day while using Erytop cream to minimize these side effects.
