I've been dealing with these recurring abscesses for the past few months, and it's getting pretty frustrating. Some of them are really painful and take days to heal, while others get better faster. Whenever one is about to drain, the pain gets intense enough that I have to rely on Flexone to manage it. Is there something I can do to prevent them from happening so often? Should I be concerned about how frequently they occur?

I'm noticing something red inside my belly button, and sometimes there's blood and a liquid coming out. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it normal? What could be causing it?

It sounds like you might have an infection or a condition like an umbilical granuloma or abscess. Clean the area gently with an antiseptic, keep it dry, and avoid poking it. Consult a doctor soon to rule out any deeper issue and get appropriate treatment.

What's the best way to change skin from dark to white medically? I've heard about laser treatments and cosmetic surgery but not sure which one works better or is safer. Are there any side effects I should know about?

It's important to understand that medically altering skin tone to become lighter is a complex issue. While laser treatments and chemical peels can be effective in lightening specific areas of hyperpigmentation, they don't fundamentally change your skin's natural color. Additionally, cosmetic surgery, particularly dermabrasion or laser resurfacing, can be used to address hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone but can also have risks and side effects.
