I'm 30 and I've got this knot inside my left chest nipple that's really painful when I touch it. I've been on tuberculosis medication for the past five months, and this is my last month. Could the medication be causing this, or is it something else? Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I've been dealing with a fungal infection and itching around my waist and private area for the past two months. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm worried it hasn't gone away yet. I've tried keeping the area clean and dry, but it doesn't seem to be improving. Is there something else I should be doing, or could this be a sign of something more serious? What treatments would you recommend?

I'm a 21-year-old guy and this morning, I noticed two mustard-yellow spots that are about 4x5 cm. There's no swelling or pain, but I feel a bit of numbness when I press on them. I've never experienced anything like this before and I don't have a history of liver issues. Plus, I haven't bumped or injured myself recently. Do you have any idea what it could be?

I've been dealing with perioral hyperpigmentation on my cheeks, and it turns out my sister has the same issue. My doctor suggested I use Kozilite H cream with hydroquinone 2%. Do you think it's safe for my face, and how long should I stick with this treatment? Also, I've had really dark circles since I was a kid, so it's kind of a heredity thing. I don't want to put any hydroquinone cream around my eyes. Could you recommend a good, non-irritating under-eye cream to help reduce them?

1. Hydroquinone 2% is generally safe for short-term use (3-6 months) on the face, but prolonged use can lead to ochronosis, skin thinning, or rebound hyperpigmentation; use Kozilite-H cream as directed by your doctor, and monitor for any adverse effects. 2. For dark circles, consider a non-irritating, hydroquinone-free under-eye cream containing ingredients like caffeine, peptides, vitamin K, or niacinamide; some good options include Kama Ayurveda Under Eye Cream, La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar Eye Cream, or Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel.
