I've noticed this small lump, kind of pea-sized, under the skin on my right butt cheek, right where it connects with my thigh. It's pretty hard to the touch and really painful, especially when I sit. There's also some dark red-ish discoloration on the skin. Do you think this is anything serious or could it be a cyst or something else?

It sounds like you might have a painful bump, possibly an ingrown hair, cyst, or a localized infection. Its best to avoid pressing on it. Keep the area clean, and apply warm compresses to reduce pain and swelling. If the bump doesnt improve or worsens, consider seeing a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment.

I've been using Melacare cream for about 10 years now, and recently I've noticed my face turning red. Is this a side effect of the cream? Can you help me understand what's happening?

I've been experiencing a lot of hair fall and breakage lately, especially at the point where my new hair growth meets the area that was treated with keratin three months ago. It's really noticeable every time I wash or brush my hair. Do you think I should stick with the Cacau shampoo and conditioner I've been using, or would another hair treatment help stop the hair fall? What would you suggest?
