Hey, so I've noticed a weird lump on my buttocks that popped up last month. At first, I thought it was just a heat boil, so I used a pain relief patch and eventually thought it healed. But now it's come back, and I'm not sure what's going on. Do you have any idea what this could be or what I should do about it?

I'm not capable of viewing images, but based on your description, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor or dermatologist to examine the lump and determine the cause, as it could be a sign of an underlying condition, such as a cyst, abscess, or skin infection.

I'm a bit worried because I started taking the Hair bless tablet and using the regain topical solution for my hair fall back in October 2020. I've noticed that my hair volume has increased, and theres some regrowth too, but Im still dealing with hair fall. The thing thats freaking me out is that the medication seems to be causing hair growth in other places, like my stomach. Is it safe for me to keep taking the Hair bless tablet, or should I stop and just stick with the minoxidil topical solution? What do you think?
Increased hair growth on areas like the stomach due to Hairbless tablet usage is a known side effect, particularly with topical application. Since you're experiencing regrowth and increased volume, it's essential to consult your doctor to reassess the treatment plan. They may recommend stopping the Hairbless tablet or adjusting the dosage to minimize systemic absorption and prevent unwanted hair growth. Continuing topical minoxidil application may still be beneficial for hair growth, but it's crucial to discuss the best course of action with your doctor

I've got this annoying cystic acne on one of my buttocks, and it's super painful and inflamed. In the past, I've had cystic acne on my cheek and chest, and my doctor recommended Nadoxin, which worked back then. But now, using Nadoxin on this one doesn't seem to do the trick. Should I stick with Nadoxin, or do I need to try something else?
Considering the severity of your cystic acne on your buttock, it may be beneficial to switch to a more potent medication. I recommend stopping the use of Nadoxin and consulting with your doctor for a prescription of a stronger topical antibiotic like Duac gel. Additionally, an oral antibiotic like Doxycycline may be necessary to help reduce inflammation and control the infection. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions for proper dosage and duration of treatment.
