Having just recovered from jaundice a couple of months ago, my friend, whos only 23, is really worried about losing a lot of hair lately. We visited a doctor who suggested using a procapil-based solution, but we're concerned about any side effects or what might happen if she stops using it. Could you shed some light on this?

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'm a 29-year-old guy dealing with jock itch, and I'm looking for a good hair removal cream for the area above my penis and on my testicles. I'm especially concerned about finding something without side effects. Is it okay for guys to use women's hair removal creams? Also, I want the hair to grow back in about a month, so I'm not interested in anything permanent. What's readily available at most drugstores that you would recommend?

Blisters on the testicles with itching could be caused by a variety of conditions. Some possible causes are folliculitis, contact dermatitis , genital herpes, ingrown hairs or pseudofolliculitis , fungal infections.Avoid scratching or popping, clean the area gently,wear loose fitting underwear and avoid known irritants. Consult a dermatologist for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
