I'm having a problem with some bumps on my buttocks and I'm wondering if there's any home remedy that might help. Also, could you recommend the best doctor to see about this issue? I'm really anxious to know how soon this can be resolved. Any advice would be appreciated.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called folliculitis, which is inflammation of the hair follicles. You can try using over-the-counter antibacterial washes like Hibiclens or Betadine to help clear up the bumps. Applying a warm compress to the affected area several times a day can also help. Make sure to wear loose-fitting clothing to allow the area to breathe. If the bumps do not improve with home remedies, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment. They may prescribe topical antibiotics or other medications to help clear up the folliculitis. The time it takes to resolve the issue can vary depending on the severity of the condition, but with proper treatment, it should improve within a few weeks.

I've noticed that my face is darker and duller compared to the rest of my body, which is much fairer. It's really bothering me because I also have a lot of issues with my face, like oily skin. I've been to many doctors, but nothing seems to work. Why is my face skin so much different from the rest of my body, and what can I do about it?
normal ,nothing to worry.

I've been dealing with pimples that were starting to heal, but it's been really slow. They began to dry up, so I tried applying some moisturizer and rubbed it a bit, thinking it would help. But now it's worse because I rubbed too hard, and my skin started oozing this watery liquid. By the next morning, it developed pus. I went to see a doctor, and they recommended I use T BACT cream. Do you think that'll actually help? I'm kind of worried about what to do next.
Refrain from rubbing or picking at the area to avoid further irritation or damage. Let the skin heal naturally.After the cream has been absorbed, you can apply a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. This will help prevent further dryness and irritation.T-Bact (Mupirocin) should help treat the infection and promote healing. It's essential to use it as directed by your doctor and avoid further irritation or picking at the skin. If the situation does not improve or worsens, seek follow-up care from your doctor.
