Question

I'm having trouble sitting for the past couple of days because there's a bump on my buttocks. I'm not sure how it got there, but it's really uncomfortable. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

The bump on your buttocks could be a pilonidal cyst, abscess, or boil, and to alleviate the discomfort, apply warm compresses, maintain good hygiene, and consider consulting a general surgeon for a proper diagnosis and treatment, which may include antibiotics or drainage.

Question

I'm really struggling with ringworm on my stomach, both thighs, and face. I've tried so many medicines like Hydil, Allegra, Terbinaforce cream, and Nuforce GM cream, but nothing seems to be working. I'm feeling kinda lost and worried. Do you have any advice or ideas on what I could try next?

Question

Ive been having these boil-like pimples in my suprapubic area again. I had the same issue about a year ago and it hung around for two years before disappearing on its own. Now, after about 9 months of being clear, theyve come back in the same spot. Im seeing about 10 of them now, and a couple have started growing on my penis too. Last year, I had a skin biopsy and the doctor said it wasnt cancerous, but Im worried since theyre popping up again. Im sexually active and I do drink whisky or beer pretty often. Can you tell me what this might be, what causes it, and if theres a permanent treatment for it?

Question

I was diagnosed with tuberculosis last month, and since then, I've noticed that my skin color has turned darker. I used to have fair skin before. I'm really worried if this change will last or if my original complexion will return after I recover. Can you please let me know what to expect?
