I'm using minoxidil 5% topical solution, and I've noticed that my scalp has been itching since I started applying it. Do you think I should stop using it, or is this a normal side effect? Would love to get your thoughts on this.

Hey, so I've noticed a weird lump on my buttocks that popped up last month. At first, I thought it was just a heat boil, so I used a pain relief patch and eventually thought it healed. But now it's come back, and I'm not sure what's going on. Do you have any idea what this could be or what I should do about it?

I'm not capable of viewing images, but based on your description, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor or dermatologist to examine the lump and determine the cause, as it could be a sign of an underlying condition, such as a cyst, abscess, or skin infection.
