Can I use Veet hair removal cream for getting rid of pubic hair? I've trimmed, but some hairs are still left, and they hurt when they grow a bit. Is it safe for the skin in that area? Are there other creams suitable for men? I'm not looking for laser treatment.

Yes, you can use Veet hair removal cream for your pubic area. Make sure to choose a sensitive skin formula to minimize the risk of irritation. Follow the instructions on the package carefully and do a patch test before applying it to a larger area.

I'm really struggling with acne, and it's been going on for about two years now. It's like, just when I think it's getting better and clears up, it flares back up and gets worse again after some days. It's so frustrating. I really need some advice or help on this. Why does this keep happening, and what can I do to finally get rid of it?

-It sounds like you're dealing with persistent acne. I recommend a consistent skincare routine with gentle products, and consider seeing a dermatologist for personalized treatment, like topical or oral medications, to manage flare-ups.

I've been noticing these dark bruise-like marks showing up on my lower legs for the last 8 months, and no matter what, they just won't fade away. It's kind of worrying me because they keep increasing. I am on the heavier side, and I'm wondering if my weight might be causing these haematomas, especially when there's pressure on certain spots of my legs. I've talked to a couple of doctors, but none seem to really get what's going on or how to treat it. Is there something else I could try, or some insight I might be missing?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I've been dealing with a boil on my buttock, and after finishing a 5-day course of antibiotics yesterday, it developed a white head today. When I did a warm compression, it released some pus and then blood. I cleaned it up and covered it with cotton, but an hour later, I noticed blood on the cotton. I washed it again, but the bleeding didn't stop. What should I do?

The boil on your buttock has likely come to a head, released pus and blood, and is now in the process of healing; however, given the continued bleeding, it's essential to monitor the wound closely, keep it clean, and apply antibiotic ointment to promote healing and prevent infection; if the bleeding persists, increases, or is accompanied by increased pain, redness, or swelling, seek medical attention from a healthcare professional or a dermatologist for further evaluation and guidance.
