I'm worried about this small hole on my back that's been causing me some trouble lately. It hurts a bit and sometimes pus comes out, along with a really unpleasant smell. It's been going on for a few months now. Should I be worried? What could this be, and do I need to see a doctor?

I'm wondering if applying Glocin during the day is safe. Will it cause any pigmentation if I'm exposed to sunlight or even just the light from a normal tubelight? Really need some guidance here.

Glocin is a brand name for the drug Mometasone. Mometasone is a topical corticosteroid used to reduce skin inflammation. When applied during the day, it is generally safe to use. However, prolonged exposure to sunlight or artificial light like tubelight can increase the risk of skin pigmentation. It is advisable to use sunscreen with a high SPF during the day to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
