I've been getting pimples every month of my menstrual cycle, and it's always on the right cheek, on the same spot. It's really frustrating because it's left huge marks on my skin. My doctor suggested I take Microbact 500 mg three times a week, use Clarion face wash, apply Glocin gel in the morning all over my face, and Sagium gel at night. But even after three weeks of sticking to this treatment, new pimples keep popping up, and it feels like they're even worse now. What should I do?

Despite treatment, persistent pimples on your right cheek, coinciding with your menstrual cycle, may indicate hormonal acne; consider discussing the following with your doctor: adjusting medication dosage or frequency, adding hormonal treatments like birth control pills or spironolactone, and incorporating spot treatments containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to target individual pimples; also, maintain good skincare habits, including gentle exfoliation and sun protection.

I've been experiencing a lot of pain right at the top of my butt crack, not the anus but the upper part of the butt. It's really painful when I sit down, although there's no lumps or sores that I can feel or see. I'm unsure what's causing this, but it's pretty uncomfortable. Any idea what might be going on or how I can ease the pain?
You may be experiencing pain in the area known as the sacrum or coccyx. This type of pain can be caused by various reasons such as muscle strain, injury, or even inflammation. To help relieve the pain and discomfort, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) as directed on the package. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may also help alleviate the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
