I'm curious about the safety of using Veet hair removal wax cream. Is it bad for the skin at all, like could it lead to cancer or other skin problems? I've got quite a bit of hair and I'm looking to find a safe way to remove it. Your advice would be super helpful!

Veet hair removal wax cream is generally safe for use on the skin for hair removal. It is unlikely to cause cancer or serious skin issues when used according to the instructions. However, some individuals may experience skin irritation, redness, or allergic reactions to the ingredients in the cream. It is always recommended to do a patch test before using it on larger areas of the skin. If you do not experience any adverse reactions, you can proceed with using the cream. Make sure to follow the recommended usage and application instructions to minimize any potential risks.

So, my hair started turning white all of a sudden, and I'm noticing there's less of it too. Do you think PRP, you know, platelet rich plasma treatment, would be a good idea for this? I'm just worried about whether it'll help or not.

I'm dealing with a really painful issue where the skin has torn on the upper middle part of my buttocks, close to the tailbone. It hurts quite a bit, and I'm uncertain about what it might be. Could you help me understand what's going on?
Could be due to a condition called a pilonidal cyst. This can cause pain and discomfort in the area. I recommend keeping the area clean and dry to prevent infection. You can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day to help with healing. Additionally, taking a pain reliever like ibuprofen can help with the pain. If the pain persists or if there are signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or drainage of pus, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
