I'm having this issue with my tailbone where there's this acne or pimple-like bump that leaks some kind of fluid. It's been messing with how I sit every day because it's painful, especially during long periods. Do you think it's a cyst or something like that? I'm just really concerned and would love some insight into what might be going on.

A painful, fluid-excreting bump on the tailbone area could be a pilonidal cyst, abscess, or infected acne, and it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably A general surgeon, for a proper diagnosis and treatment to alleviate discomfort and prevent further complications.

I'm having trouble finding Dipsalic F ointment at medical stores since they said it's not being made anymore. I've been using it for an allergic reaction, and nothing else I've tried is as effective. Can you suggest the best substitute for this ointment? I'm really concerned about finding something that works as well.

Question

I had a boil on my hip line a few months back, and it had to be surgically cut to drain the pus. I'm starting to feel that same kind of pain again, but theres no actual boil yet. Is there any way to stop it from forming into a full-on boil this time?

Question

I'm wondering if it's okay to use calak lotion on my skin, even though I don't have any issues with it right now. Is it fine to apply this lotion at night, and is it safe to use after putting on a herbal face pack? I'm just trying to make sure I take care of my skin properly.
