Question

I've noticed I have a lot of thin vertical lines on my nails, and there's always one or two thick, noticeable ones on each fingernail. Its kind of worrying me because I have had tests done, like thyroid, x-ray, sugar, blood and urine tests, and everything has come back normal. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?

Question

I'm having this really uncomfortable itching problem under my testicles for over ten days now. It seems to get really bad during a bath when I wash them with soap. The itching is so intense that the skin becomes really red, and there's muscle pain too. I've tried using Fore Derm ointment and Absorb dusting powder, but nothing's helping. What should I do?

Question

I've got this bump that started off small, but after I accidentally scratched it, it got bigger. It's pretty red around the edges and really hurts when I touch it. I noticed there's some pus inside. Is it better to wait until the pus grows more before trying to squeeze it out? Then maybe take some antibiotics? I really want to get rid of this from the root, and I heard draining the pus is important. What should I do?
