I'm dealing with some lumps popping up in my pubic area. They aren't too bad and seem like they've got pus in them. They come and go, but one got pretty bad and burst. I kept it clean and bandaged for a couple of weeks, and it went away. Now I've got two more, and it seems like they show up when there's pressure from my belt. I'm trying to wear my belt as little as possible, but I'm unsure how to stop these from appearing. Any advice on preventing this would be appreciated!

I'm a bit concerned about an oval blackish-brown spot I've noticed on the glans of my penis. It doesn't hurt, and the borders are irregular, and its not elevated. I honestly can't remember when it first showed up, but I discovered it after I got circumcised because I had phimosis. Should I be worried about this spot, or is it something that can happen post-circumcision?

I'm dealing with a boil and wondering if it's okay to use mega heal ointment, or should I try something else? Any advice would be much appreciated.

You can try using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin. Apply a thin layer to the affected area 2-3 times a day. If the boil does not improve or gets worse, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

So, I recently got a shave at the barber's, and there was a pimple near my moustache. The razor blade nicked it, and I was bleeding a bit. I saw the barber change the blade, so I'm pretty sure it was new, but I'm still worried. Is there any risk of HIV from this? Could you help me figure out if I should be concerned?
