I've been noticing these small lumps on my cheekbone, right under my eye. They tend to swell up by themselves and then the swelling goes down after a few days, but then they come back after about a month. It's like a recurring cycle and I'm starting to get scars from them. Should I be worried about these lumps? What could be causing this?

I've been dealing with these persistent acne bumps on my nose since I was 21, and I'm 28 now. Some of them have turned into these stubborn, bumpy scars that make my nose feel rough. They seem pretty hard too. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do to smooth out these scars?

I'm having this problem with itching near my genital area mainly at night, and it's been going on for like three months. I tried using fourderm cream for a week, and it helped while I was using it, but the itching came back when I stopped. So, for the past few days, I've switched to using dermiford cream along with taking three tablets of fluconazole 150, zifixime 200, and crtcip-l. Despite all this, the itching at night is still bothering me. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how to get rid of this itching?
