Question

I'm a bit worried about a sebaceous cyst I had on my right arm a while back. I squeezed it a couple of times and now it's turned into this black hole, like there's a hole there and it's just black inside. The lump is gone and there's no swelling, but this black hole has been there for months and hasn't closed up. I'm attaching some pictures for reference. Is this something serious or should I be concerned about it?

I've been dealing with this itchy red rash that keeps appearing and disappearing, and I sometimes feel a pricking sensation in different parts of my body, especially on my back. On top of that, my tonsils seem to hurt a bit too. Could this be something serious, or is there anything I should be doing to help it?

Question

I've been experiencing this intense burning sensation on my arm that came out of nowhere while I was just lying down, and now there's this mysterious spot that appeared. I'm on a medication called Prothedian. Could the spot be connected to the medication, or should I be worried about something else? What do you think might be going on?
