I've noticed a dark patch around my waist, groin, and below the pelvic area. I'm a bit worried about what might be causing it. Could this be something serious, and is there a way to treat it? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

Hi there! I'm here to help with your concern about the dark patches in your waist, groin, and below the pelvic area. To provide you with the most accurate assessment, could you please upload a photo of the affected areas? This will help me better understand the condition and suggest appropriate treatment options.
In the meantime, here are a couple of questions to help me gather more information:
When did you first notice these dark patches, and have they changed in size or color over time? Do you experience any other symptoms in these areas, such as itching, pain, or any kind of discharge?

View allI've been noticing these things on my face that aren't exactly pimples, but they've got this white pus under the skin, kind of scattered everywhere. And if I press on them, the pus just comes out. I'm really puzzled about what's going on with my skin and was wondering if there's anything I can apply or do to help improve its condition?
Could be a sign of a skin condition called milia. To improve your skin quality, you can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Retin-A (tretinoin) to help exfoliate the skin and prevent further buildup of dead skin cells. Additionally, using a gentle exfoliating scrub containing salicylic acid can help unclog pores and improve skin texture. Make sure to follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. Remember to start with a small amount of the products to avoid irritation, and gradually increase as tolerated.

I'm dealing with stage 1 baldness and have been on minoxidil and finasteride, plus some vitamin supplements, for about five months now. I've started noticing some improvement, but my hair is still curly and really thin, which makes finding a decent hairstyle tough. Every couple of hours after combing, it ends up looking a mess. I'm thinking about trying hair smoothening to help with styling, but I'm worried about any side effects it might have. Any advice on this?
Let your hair fall issue get resolved later you can try for other methods for styling your hair only after your doctors advice,consume balanced diet and maintain healthy life style.

So, I'm dealing with chickenpox and it's pretty painful and uncomfortable. I've heard that smoking weed might help with the pain and the uneasiness. Is it okay to try that, or could it make things worse?
No, it is not recommended to smoke weed during Chicken pox as it can have negative effects on your immune system and overall health. Instead, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as Acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help with the pain and discomfort. Additionally, you can use calamine lotion or oatmeal baths to soothe the itching. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to help your body recover from Chicken pox.
