Question

I'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.

Question

I'm really worried about the dark spots at the corners of my lips, and I was wondering if there's any cream that might help. One doctor suggested I try using Lip Bless, but I'm still unsure if that'll do the trick. I'm getting married soon, so I'm quite stressed about it. I don't smoke or drink, and I make sure to drink plenty of water, eat fruits rich in vitamin C, and scrub regularly. Plus, I rarely spend time in the sun. Do you have any advice on what might help brighten up the corners of my lips?

Question

I'm really concerned about the pigmentation on my lips. I've been thinking a lot about ways to reduce it but I'm not sure what my options are. Can you tell me more about the treatments available, how much they typically cost, and how long it might take before I notice any changes? Also, are there any creams specifically for dark lips that you would recommend?

Question

I've been trying out this NoFap challenge, where guys basically stop watching porn and don't masturbate. I've noticed some great benefits but I'm curious if there are any side effects from not masturbating or ejaculating for a long time. Should I be worried about anything?
