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 might have chlamydia or hemorrhoids because I've noticed a lump near my anus. There's also a cluster of acne-like bumps without any pus, almost like muscle growth. I'm really worried. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of hemorrhoids, which are swollen veins in the rectum and anus that can cause discomfort and a lump near the anus. To help with the symptoms, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Preparation H (hydrocortisone) cream to reduce swelling and discomfort. It is important to keep the area clean and dry, and to avoid straining during bowel movements. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been eating a lot of Chinese food lately, and it's pretty much become my go-to meal almost every day. But recently, I've started noticing this weird burning sensation on my skin in different parts of my body. There's no redness or itching, though. I'm a 25-year-old woman and I'm a bit worried. What could be causing this burning feeling?

I'm trying to figure out which soap is better for my skin, Dermadew or Kojic, because my doctor recommended Dermadew along with Melaglow cream. I'm just wondering if I should stick with that advice or consider other options. Can you help?

Dermadew soap is generally considered better than Kojic soap due to its gentler and non-comedogenic properties, which suit most skin types, whereas Kojic soap can be harsh and drying; pairing Dermadew soap with Melaglow cream, which contains kojic acid, vitamin E, and glycerin, can help in skin brightening, hyperpigmentation reduction, and moisturizing, making it a suitable combination for skin tone evening and glow enhancement.
