Question

I'm dealing with some pretty intense itching on my inner thighs and it's just so frustrating. It seems like it might be jock itch or something similar. Do you have any suggestions on how I can treat this? I'm really tired of dealing with it and could use some help.

Can EVION 400 be used as a hair oil to help grow new hair? I saw a video on YouTube where they suggest applying EVION to areas with hair fall to promote regrowth. Is this really effective? I'm curious if this is a safe and reliable method to try.

Question

I'm really concerned about a new mole I found behind my left ear. I saw a dermatologist and she told me its not cancerous, thankfully. She gave me a mole removal cream, and I've been using it for a few days now. It looks like it's getting smaller, which is a relief, but it barely itches. Im still worried if there's any risk of cancer. Also, if it completely fades away, should I still be worried down the line?

Question

I've been dealing with a boil on my upper lip, and after getting treatment, it seemed to drain on its own within a week. However, there's still a small hard lump left on my lip, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you tell me if there's a way to completely get rid of it?
