View allI've been using mintop for the past 30 days and haven't noticed any side effects so far. I'm thinking about continuing it for another 3 months, but I'm a bit worried about any long-term effects. Is there anything I should be aware of when using mintop 10 foam for an extended period?
Continue all the medications as advised by the dermatologist.

I'm getting married next month and I'm really worried because I'm dealing with something called frenulum breve. I've attached an image. Can you tell me what's the best way to treat or remove it? I really need some guidance here.
Treatment for this condition is a surgical procedure called frenuloplasty. This procedure involves cutting the frenulum to release the tightness. I recommend you to consult with a urologist who can perform the procedure. After the surgery, you may be prescribed pain medication such as Acetaminophen 500mg to manage any discomfort. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions for a smooth recovery.

I've got this lump on my pubic area that's really worrying me. It's painful, reddish, and there's pus and blood coming out. The top of the lump looks pretty red too. I'm not sure what it could be, and it's freaking me out a bit. Should I be concerned or see someone about it?
A painful, red, and swollen lump with pus and blood in the pubic area may indicate a sebaceous cyst, abscess, or infected ingrown hair; however, it's crucial to consult a doctor or dermatologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis, as it could also be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a Bartholin's cyst or hidradenitis suppurativa, and may require treatment with antibiotics, drainage, or minor surgery.
