Question

I'm a 26-year-old guy and I've been taking Tretiva 10 mg for my scalp infection. The dermatologist suggested I use it for 30 days to help with the small pimples filled with white pus on my scalp. But I read about some possible side effects in the patient information leaflet, like psychiatric disorders, pancreatitis, and pseudotumor cerebri, and I'm starting to worry a bit. Do you think it's a good idea to stop taking it? I'm concerned about any possible effects on my brain or thinking since I'm a student. Also, I didn't have any blood tests before starting this medication. What should I do?

Question

I've been using Melaglow cream for a year, applying it every night and washing it off in the morning. My skin was glowing while I was using it, but now that I've stopped, my skin is completely pigmented. It used to be fair before I started using the cream, but now it's turned dark. Is there a way to get my natural skin fairness back? Would really appreciate some guidance on this.

Question

I've got this pain on my upper right butt cheek, and I found a small lump there about the size of a chickpea. It's making me a bit worried. It really hurts when I press on it. What could this be?
