View allI've been dealing with acne scars and I'm breastfeeding my 5-month-old baby. I'm thinking about using tretinoin tretin 0.05% cream on my face to help with the scars and acne, but I'm really worried if this could affect my baby through breastfeeding. Is it safe for me to use this cream or should I avoid it while I'm nursing? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
While tretinoin (Tretin 0.05%) is effective for acne and scars, it's not recommended for breastfeeding mothers, as it's a topical retinoid that can be absorbed into the bloodstream and potentially pass into breast milk, posing a risk to your 5-month-old baby; instead, consider alternative treatments, such as azelaic acid, salicylic acid, or glycolic acid, and consult your doctor or a dermatologist for personalized advice.

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.

I'm dealing with really swollen and painful armpits for about a week now. There's nothing visible except for the swelling. Should I be worried, or is there something specific I should be doing or looking out for?
Swollen and painful armpits for a week warrant medical attention; possible causes include infected lymph nodes, hidradenitis suppurativa, or an allergic reaction; apply warm compresses to reduce discomfort and schedule an appointment with a doctor, who may prescribe antibiotics or further testing, such as a biopsy or ultrasound, to determine the underlying cause.
