I noticed a black bump in my butt about a week ago and it's still there. Is this something that can go away on its own or do I need to see a doctor? It doesn't hurt much but the color worries me. Can it be treated without surgery?

It could be a thrombosed external hemorrhoid or cyst. If painless, warm compresses and observation help. See a doctor if it persists or changes.

Question

I'm worried that my hair is falling out because of the Acenac MR tablets I've been taking. Do you think it could be the cause? Also, is there any way to regrow my hair with medication? How can I reach out to you for advice?

Question

I've started using Erythego gel and Ivermectin cream because my face was feeling hot and burning with some redness. At first, the redness seemed to get better, but the burning feeling didn't really go away. It only stops for a bit when I put on the medicine, but the rest of the time, my face still feels warm. I'm starting to wonder if these medications could be making the burning worse instead of helping me. Could they be causing the redness, too?

Question

I'm really worried about my sister. She's got these small warts on her neck and face, and they seem to be spreading to her chest and armpits. Sometimes they itch, but not always. She's tried using pure turmeric mixed with neem and potato juice, but nothing's really worked. Now she's been using Dettol and says that the burning feeling she had at first isn't there anymore. Do you think it's okay for her to keep using Dettol to get rid of the warts? If you have any other home remedy ideas, that would be great because she's not into the idea of laser treatment and it's really causing her some pain. Any advice?
