I'm having this issue with my tailbone where there's this acne or pimple-like bump that leaks some kind of fluid. It's been messing with how I sit every day because it's painful, especially during long periods. Do you think it's a cyst or something like that? I'm just really concerned and would love some insight into what might be going on.

A painful, fluid-excreting bump on the tailbone area could be a pilonidal cyst, abscess, or infected acne, and it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably A general surgeon, for a proper diagnosis and treatment to alleviate discomfort and prevent further complications.

View allI'm really worried about my hair fall issue. I was diagnosed with something called telogen effluvium and my doctor recommended biotee plus for three months. But even after taking it all this time, I'm not seeing any improvement. Is it safe to keep taking the biotin supplement for longer? How long can I actually continue with this?

I've been using Melas cream for over a month, but I recently stopped because my skin keeps peeling. I'm really worried about how to get my skin back to normal. Do you have any recommendation on which cream might help with the recovery?
After stopping the use of Melas, it is important to allow your skin to recover. You can use a gentle moisturizing cream containing ingredients like aloe vera or hyaluronic acid to help soothe and hydrate your skin. Additionally, you can use a mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Make sure to apply these creams as directed by the manufacturer or your healthcare provider. It is also important to protect your skin from further damage by avoiding sun exposure and using a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
