I've been dealing with a lot of itching and irritation, especially in my private area, and I've found that using prickly heat powder after a shower really helps. I'm wondering if it's safe to use it every day in that sensitive area or if it might cause any issues in the long run. Is this a normal practice, or should I be concerned about any side effects?

I've noticed these two small lumps under my left armpit. At first, they seemed like pimples under the skin, but they got worse and swollen after I applied some Tiger Balm and pressed on them. I'm a bit worried about what this could be. Could you give me some advice?

I'm 16 and I've noticed my lips have become really dark, like almost black. I don't smoke or anything. They used to be a nice rosy color when I was a kid, and I'm not sure how or when they changed. It's kind of worrying now because I think it looks unhealthy. How can I get my lips back to their rosy shade?
