I've got this painful pimple near my nipple, and I think it started because of an ingrown hair. I'm really worried about it and not sure what to do next. Should I see a doctor for something like this, or is there anything I can try at home to make it go away and prevent any infection?

That could be folliculitis do not try to remove it on your own,visit general surgeon for appropriate management

I've been dealing with malar bags and someone mentioned it might be due to an underactive thyroid. If that's true, could medication help improve them? I've been using tretinoin and taking a collagen supplement, but these bags really make me look older. Are there any other treatments or options you would suggest for these slight malar bags?

Im really concerned because every time I apply lotion or cream on my face, I get a burning sensation and it gets really irritating. Im thinking it might be a sunburn, but Im not sure.
