I'm really struggling with hair removal in my private areas like the inner thighs and around the testicles and anus. Every time I try, it just ends up irritating the skin and I get these pesky fungal infections because of it. It's really uncomfortable and frustrating. Can you suggest any better solutions or tips that might help with this?

For hair removal in sensitive areas, opt for gentle methods like trimming with electric clippers or using hair removal creams designed specifically for sensitive skin (patch-test first). Avoid shaving to minimize irritation and fungal infections. Keep the area clean, dry, and apply an antifungal powder if prone to infections. Consult a dermatologist for persistent issues.

I've noticed a small lump in my armpit, and it's swollen and hurts a bit when I move my arm. Should I be worried about this?

It sounds like you may have a swollen lymph node in your armpit, which can be caused by various reasons such as infection or inflammation. To help reduce the swelling and pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the area for 10-15 minutes a few times a day. If the swelling and pain persist or worsen, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
