I'm having this bubble since August 29th. It was painful at first but now the pain's gone, though the bubble hasn't disappeared. Also, I've been having some pain in my right shoulder. Who should I reach out to for help with this?

It sounds like you're dealing with a persistent bubble, along with shoulder pain. Given the duration and combination of symptoms, I recommend consulting a physician, ideally an orthopedic specialist or a general practitioner, who can assess both the bubble and shoulder pain to provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've got a raised mole on my upper lip and really want it gone, but I'm worried about scarring. A couple of doctors mentioned that removing it with a laser might leave a scar the size of the mole, and I'm trying to avoid that. Is there any way to get it off with little to no scarring? I'm sharing a picture with this. Any advice would be appreciated.
One option to consider is a surgical excision where the mole is cut out with a scalpel. This method can minimize scarring if done carefully by a skilled dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Another option is cryotherapy, where the mole is frozen off using liquid nitrogen. This method may also result in minimal scarring. I recommend consulting with a dermatologist to discuss these options and determine the best course of action for your specific case.

I'm dealing with this dark brown pus that's coming from my hand and back, and it's got this really bad smell. Is this something normal that happens sometimes, or should I be worried about it? And what kind of treatment would you recommend for something like this?
Dark brown pus with a foul smell is not normal and indicates a bacterial infection. *Possible Causes* 1. *Folliculitis*: Infected hair follicles can cause pus-filled bumps. 2. *Abscess*: A pocket of pus that forms in the skin, often caused by bacterial infections. 3. *Infected cysts or boils*: Blocked pores or oil glands can become infected, leading to pus and a foul smell. 4. *Cellulitis*: A bacterial infection of the skin and underlying tissues. *Treatment* 1. *Antibiotics*: Topical or oral antibiotics may be prescribed to treat the bacterial infection. 2. *Warm compresses*: Applying a warm, damp washcloth to the affected area can help bring the pus to a head and encourage drainage. 3. *Incision and drainage*: In some cases, a doctor may need to drain the pus by making a small incision. 4. *Good hygiene*: Keeping the affected area clean and dry can help prevent the spread of infection.
