I've been dealing with this really painful lump between my buttocks, right near the tailbone area, and it's making sitting super difficult. I was looking it up and it sounds a lot like a Pilonidal cyst based on the symptoms. I'm really in need of some relief from this pain. What should I do?

Question

I'm dealing with these rashes in my armpits and groin area for the past 45 months or so. I've tried everything from fourderm to quadriderm creams to feel better. Just recently, I put on ring guard and an hour later, it started burning. My doctor mentioned using lulibet, but I'm not sure what to do next. Any idea what's going on or what might actually help?

Question

I recently burned my leg with a bike silencer about three days ago. The skin in that area has turned black, and while there's no pain, there's this clear liquid on a popped blister that keeps coming back after I clean it with a cotton. Should I be worried about this? Do you think it's necessary for me to see a doctor?

Question

I'm struggling with acne scars and dark spots on my face and I'm really curious if taking Evion capsules orally would be safe for me. I'm also in the middle of a weight loss journey; I'm hitting the gym regularly and sticking to a diet plan. My big worry is whether Evion could lead to weight gain. Are there any side effects I should know about?
