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.

View allI have a dark brown birthmark on my hand and want to remove it completely but safely. Would laser treatment work better or should I consider cosmetic surgery? What are the pros and cons of each option?
For complete and safe removal of a dark brown birthmark on your hand, both laser treatment and cosmetic surgery are viable options. Laser treatment is generally preferred for its non-invasive nature and effectiveness in breaking down pigmentation, while surgery provides a more definitive removal, albeit with the potential for scarring. The best approach for you will depend on the size, location, and type of your birthmark, as well as your personal preferences and comfort level.

I've been using Cosglo gel for two months but haven't seen any results yet. Is there a specific time I should be applying it to help with dark spots, or should I be doing something else? I'm starting to worry if it's actually effective. Can you give me any advice on this?

My fianc has been dealing with these itchy rashes around his thighs, butt, and even on his penis for about four months now and it's really starting to get him down. He tried using some medicine for a fungal infection but it hasn't helped. It all began with these ring-like scars, then more turned up looking like pimples, and now there're rashes that resemble scratch marks. Since we're getting married in March 2018, we're both pretty worried. Does anyone have any advice on what we should do?
I'd recommend seeing a dermatologist for a proper evaluation, as there could be an underlying issue such as eczema, psoriasis, or a different fungal infection. Early treatment can help manage the symptoms and provide relief.
