I've been having some serious lip problems recently. It started about a week ago with pain on my lips, and things have only gone downhill from there. Even though I've been staying hydrated, taking antihistamines, and using Vaseline religiously, my lips are now dry, constantly sore, and have a yellow crust on them. There's also been some itchiness inside my mouth, which I'm not sure if it's related to oral allergy syndrome or if it's something else brewing. This itchiness popped up even when I hadn't eaten anything recently, which makes me suspect it might be something else. I'm really concerned and looking for some guidance on what could be happening and what steps to take next. What do you think I should do?

I'm kind of worried because I've noticed these nodules on my nipple area for the past couple of weeks. My breasts are really itchy, and the skin seems to be drying out. Just last night, I got another nodule in my underarm. I'm confused if it's just because of the warm weather or if there's another reason behind it. Could this be something serious?

it might be lymphadenopathy, consult your surgeon near by

I've been dealing with these razor bumps in my butt crack for like four days now, and they're really painful. I've tried using different things to get rid of them quickly. I can't walk, sit, or even clean the area without it hurting. I've tried Witch Hazel and a cream, and now I'm using Aloe Gel, but I want them gone faster. Is there any way to make them disappear overnight?

I've got this small pimple near my anus and it really hurts when I touch it. Could you help me figure out what I can do about it?

I recommend using an over-the-counter cream containing 2.5% hydrocortisone to reduce inflammation and pain. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for up to a week. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen to help with the pain. If the pimple does not improve or if you experience any worsening symptoms, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation
