Question

My mom's got this lump in her butt. It just keeps popping up, getting bigger, then bursts and causes her pain. Then it disappears, but eventually, it comes back, and the whole cycle starts again. What could be causing this, and should we be worried?

Question

I've got this swelling around my nose where I got it pierced and it's been bugging me a bit. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to help it heal? And would it be a good idea to take out my nose ring and maybe use a tulsi stem on it for a bit? Any medication suggestions would be helpful too.

Question

I've noticed that whenever I drink alcohol, within roughly 23 days, the skin near my palms and sometimes my legs starts peeling off, although its less noticeable on my legs. It really doesn't look good and I'm a bit worried about it. Could you help me find a solution or suggest what might be causing this?

Question

I've been dealing with a burn I got about four months ago, and the doctors mentioned it was a first-degree burn. The healing process went alright, but now Im stuck with this nasty scar on my arm that's really bothering me. The skin in that area doesnt seem to have an even tone, and the outer layer is darker. Could you suggest any products to help even out the skin tone and possibly recommend a good scar cream? I'm just looking for some guidance here.
