I'm a bit worried about plucking my eyebrows with tweezers. Is there any chance that it could cause blindness or other issues over time? I've been doing it for years and just started wondering if there are any long-term effects I should be concerned about. Could you shed some light on this?

I'm really worried about this painful bump I have. A friend of mine went to a doctor who tried to squeeze a similar boil-like thing but nothing came out and it was really painful. That doctor prescribed antibiotics and told them to use cold compresses, but I think hot compresses might be more effective. Honestly, I wasn't too impressed with the doctor's approach. Can you help me figure out what this painful, swollen bump might be?

I'm dealing with these red rashes on the head and side of my penis, and theyre really itchy. I've been using this Surfaz SN cream for a while now, and it seemed to help at first, but the rashes keep coming back after a few days. This has been going on for 4 to 5 months now. I even took Fluka 150 after a chemist recommended it, but the issue hasn't fully resolved. Can you help me understand whats going on and how I can get rid of this problem for good?
