I've got a small lump on my cheek that popped up a few hours after I woke up. It's lighter than my normal skin tone, and I can't figure out what it is or how it happened. It's really noticeable and I'm a bit worried. What could this be?

That could be due to insect bite, don't try to squeeze it, visit Ophthalmologist for evaluation and appropriate management

Question

I'm dealing with male pattern baldness, and I think it's because of the DHT hormone. Could you recommend the best DHT blocker available in India? I'm really worried about my hair loss and looking for a solution that genuinely works.

Question

I'm dealing with a really uncomfortable issue with my right breast. The skin on my areola is peeling and it's constantly sticking to my bra. When I take my bra off, the skin comes off too and it's quite painful. I had eczema a few years back with similar symptoms but that cleared up with aloe vera after about two months. This time it seems worse and isn't as itchy, just sometimes. It's sore and a bit reddish. I'm worried and wondering if it's possible to be dealing with something serious like cancer at my age. It's really freaking me out and I'm not sure what to do.
