Ive been having these boil-like pimples in my suprapubic area again. I had the same issue about a year ago and it hung around for two years before disappearing on its own. Now, after about 9 months of being clear, theyve come back in the same spot. Im seeing about 10 of them now, and a couple have started growing on my penis too. Last year, I had a skin biopsy and the doctor said it wasnt cancerous, but Im worried since theyre popping up again. Im sexually active and I do drink whisky or beer pretty often. Can you tell me what this might be, what causes it, and if theres a permanent treatment for it?

I'm dealing with this ongoing issue of frictional eczema, and I'm really unsure about the best medication to use. Could you advise me on what would work best in managing this?

For Frictional Eczema, consider over-the-counter (OTC) topical treatments like hydrocortisone cream (1%) to reduce inflammation, calamine lotion or aloe vera gel to soothe and moisturize the skin, and zinc oxide paste to protect the affected area; if symptoms persist, consult a dermatologist for prescription-strength treatments, such as topical steroids or immunomodulators, and guidance on wound care and prevention strategies.

I'm 29 and dealing with baldness, and I'm considering hair transplantation. I don't know much about the process, though. Could you tell me about any side effects or other important details I should be aware of?

Hair transplant may not be the immediate or only solution for you. Consider medical treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, or PRP first, as they can slow or even reverse hair loss. You are too young for a transplant, but its usually best to wait until your hair loss pattern is more stable.

I've been dealing with a skin allergy and I'm a bit concerned since I donated blood back in January. I'm also noticing that my cholesterol levels are slightly high. Should I be worried about how these could be related or affect my health?

skin allergy is not due to blood donation
