I'm noticing these flat red spots on my hands, arms, and feet for the past month. They don't itch or hurt, but I'm a bit worried about what they could be. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

These red spots could be a sign of a condition called petechiae, which are small, flat red spots that appear on the skin due to bleeding under the skin. It is important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, you can take Vitamin C supplements to help strengthen your blood vessels.

I've got these rashes around my private area that were starting to feel better when I was using candid B powder, but now there's this painful lump that's just popped up recently. I'm worried and trying to figure out what might be causing this and what kind of treatment would help. Any ideas?

The lump around your private area could be a result of a skin infection, possibly an abscess or swollen lymph node. I recommend seeing a doctor for an examination, as they might prescribe antibiotics or drain the lump if necessary. In the meantime, avoid tight clothing and keep the area clean.
