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.

I'm really concerned about my wife's handsthey're turning purple, especially on the knuckles. They look like they're dirty, but there's actually no dirt on them. She mentioned that they feel really dry, probably because of the cold winter air. Is this just dry skin, or could it be something more serious?

The purple discoloration on your wife's knuckles, despite appearing clean, could be due to Raynaud's phenomenon, a condition causing blood vessel constriction in response to cold temperatures, or it might be a sign of poor circulation, dry skin, or a nutritional deficiency; to rule out any underlying conditions, consult a dermatologist
