I have this 12 inch bump on my nose that just won't go away. I usually don't have acne-prone skin, but my nose pores tend to get clogged and form these flesh-tone bumps. Normally they're not a big deal, but one of them turned into this huge red bump that's really painful. It started with a lot of pain and now it's just a bump with blood and some clear fluid, but no pus. I've tried everything I can think of and it's still there. Any ideas on what this could be or how I can make it go away?

Sounds like you may be dealing with a stubborn cyst or abscess on your nose. In such cases, a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin can help prevent infection and promote healing. You can apply it to the affected area twice a day. Additionally, warm compresses can help reduce inflammation and promote drainage. If the bump does not improve or if you develop fever or worsening pain, it's important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and possible drainage.

View allI've been noticing dark circles around my eyes and it's really bothering me. I'm curious if there are any treatments or specific creams that can help reduce or remove them. Are there particular methods or facial products that work best for this issue?
Dark circles around the eyes can be caused by various factors such as lack of sleep, dehydration, allergies, or genetics. To help reduce the appearance of dark circles, you can try using an eye cream containing ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, or hyaluronic acid. Some popular brands include Cetaphil Hydrating Eye Gel-Cream or Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream. Apply a small amount of the cream gently around the eyes twice a day, in the morning and evening, for best results. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated, get enough sleep, and manage any allergies to help improve the appearance of dark circles.

I'm really worried because I've been using clove oil on my gums for about 23 days now since they seemed to be receding, but I've noticed my lips are turning dark and the corners of my mouth are even darker. When I tried rubbing the skin there, it actually peeled off like a burn would. I've put some curd on it for a cooling effect, hoping it would help, but I don't know what else I should do. Can you suggest any quick remedies to fix this?
The fluid leakage from your anus, accompanied by initial pain and subsequent discharge without pain, can be caused by several factors. Here are some possible explanations: *Possible Causes* 1. *Anal fistula*: A small tunnel or tube that connects the inside of the anus to the skin around it, causing fluid discharge. 2. *Anal abscess*: A collection of pus in the tissue around the anus, which can drain and cause fluid leakage. 3. *Proctitis*: Inflammation of the rectum, which can cause fluid discharge. 4. *Gastrointestinal infection*: Infections like giardiasis or amoebiasis can cause fluid leakage from the anus. *Recommendations* 1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a gastroenterologist to discuss your symptoms. 2. *Physical examination*: Your doctor will perform a physical examination, including a digital rectal examination, to check for any abnormalities. 3. *Diagnostic tests*: Your doctor may recommend tests like: - Stool tests to check for infections - Imaging studies (e.g., CT scan, MRI) to visualize the anus and rectum - Anoscopy or sigmoidoscopy to examine the inside of the anus and rectum 4. *Treatment*: Based on the diagnosis, your doctor will recommend treatment, which may include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, or surgical intervention. *When to Seek Immediate Attention* 1. *Severe pain*: If you experience severe pain or discomfort in the anal or rectal area. 2. *Fever*: If you have a fever above 101.5F (38.6C). 3. *Blood in stool*: If you notice blood in your stool or black tarry stools. 4. *Difficulty controlling bowel movements*: If you experience involuntary bowel movements or difficulty controlling stool.

I'm a 45-year-old guy and I've been using hair dye for the past 15 years, but lately I've started having allergic reactions. There's itching on my scalp and face, and my face has turned kind of blackish. I've tried different brands and types, like liquids, powder, and shampoo dyes over the years. Could you suggest a hair dye or maybe tablets that might help with these allergies, and is there an ointment that could help reduce the dark color on my face?
