I'm dealing with 90% vitiligo and it seems like even a minute in the sun makes my skin turn red, itchy, and it feels like a sunburn. If my skin's wet, the sunburn gets really bad and blisters start forming. I'm worried about this and would love your advice on what medication I might need. What can I do to help with this?

View allI might have chlamydia or hemorrhoids because I've noticed a lump near my anus. There's also a cluster of acne-like bumps without any pus, almost like muscle growth. I'm really worried. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of hemorrhoids, which are swollen veins in the rectum and anus that can cause discomfort and a lump near the anus. To help with the symptoms, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Preparation H (hydrocortisone) cream to reduce swelling and discomfort. It is important to keep the area clean and dry, and to avoid straining during bowel movements. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

Is it possible to remove sentinel skin tags without surgery and how long does the recovery usually take if they're removed non-surgically
Yes, sentinel skin tags (also called sentinel piles) can be removed without surgery using methods like cryotherapy, burning, or freezing, or by tying a piece of dental floss or fine cotton around the base of the skin tag. The recovery time for non-surgical removal is usually a few weeks, with the tag dropping off after freezing or burning.

I've been taking finax 1mg tablets for about 2 months now. I'm 27 years old and I've noticed an increase in body hair on my hands, legs, and chest. Can you help me understand why this is happening all of a sudden?
Finax 1mg tablets contain Finasteride, which is commonly used to treat hair loss in men. However, one of the side effects of Finasteride can be increased body hair growth. This is known as hirsutism. It is important to note that not everyone will experience this side effect, but it can happen in some individuals. If you are concerned about the increased body hair growth, you may consider discussing this with your healthcare provider.
