Can you tell me if it's safe to use Evion 400 Vitamin E capsules on my face? I've heard about its benefits, but I'm worried about any possible side effects. If it is good for my skin, how many capsules should I be using? I'd really appreciate some advice on this!

I've had this boil that healed a while back, but now there's this hard lump left behind. It's not hurting or anything, but it does itch sometimes. It's been like this for about three months now. Is this something I should be worried about, or will it eventually just go away on its own?

You may have developed a residual lump or scar tissue after the boil healed. To help reduce the itching and possibly reduce the lump, you can try using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream on the area. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the lump twice a day for about a week. If the itching persists or if the lump does not improve, you may need to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm 20 and having a hard time with beard and mustache growth. I started seeing some hair on my chin about four years ago, but it never spread out over my whole face. It's been frustrating not seeing much progress since then. Could you suggest some treatments or medicines that might help with full beard growth?
