Question

I'm a software engineer and I spend most of my day sitting. I've noticed I get these boils with white tops on my buttocks and sometimes they pop and hurt a lot. Is there any medicine I can use to treat this?

Question

I've been experiencing some peeling under my feet for the past 10 days and I recall it used to happen in certain seasons. It's been a frequent issue in the past, but this time it's more severe. Could you help me understand why this is happening and how I can treat it?

Question

I'm really not sure what this thing is, but it's been there for almost a month now. It doesn't hurt too much, but sometimes it gets bigger and then other times it gets smaller. I'm just not able to make it go away. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

Question

I'm thinking about cutting my hair short, but I'm worried it might change the natural color or somehow make it darker. Is there any truth to this idea, or is it just a myth? My aunt once said her hair got darker after she cut it, but I'm unsure if that would happen to me too since I've never done it before. What do you think?
