I'm really struggling with a stubborn verruca that just won't go away. I've tried all sorts of treatments like verruca gel and even duct tape, but nothing seems to work. Do you think I should see a doctor to have it removed? I'm starting to get worried.

I understand your frustration with the verruca not going away despite trying various treatments. In this case, it would be advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment. They may prescribe stronger medications such as Salicylic acid solution or prescribe cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen to remove the verruca effectively.

I started losing my hair after having COVID and it seemed to settle for a bit, but now its back and even worse. My doctor told me to use 1 ml of minoxidil twice a day and also suggested using 1 ml of a racine pro hair serum, which also contains minoxidil, once a day. I'm a bit worrieddoes using these together make sense? Is it safe to have the extra minoxidil from the serum too?

I've got this tiny bump, about the size of a pea or smaller, on the bridge of my nose. It's been there for less than a week, and it's a bit red. It doesn't really hurt unless I press on it, but I can see a little bit of white pus under the surface. It doesn't seem like it's going to pop anytime soon. Any idea what this could be? Should I be worried about it? I can send a picture if that helps.
