I'm really worried about this painful thing that hasn't gone away in a week. Is there any chance it could be cancer? What should I do?

I understand your concern, and Im here to help. Painful lumps lasting over a week are usually not cancer, but they could be an infection, cyst, or another condition needing attention. Please see a doctor promptly for an examination and proper treatment.

I'm noticing some black spots under my armpits lately and I'm not sure what's causing them. Could this be some kind of allergic reaction? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance. What do you think it could be?

These black spots could be due to a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with insulin resistance or diabetes. I recommend using a cream containing hydroquinone and tretinoin, such as Melalite Forte cream, applied once daily at night. Additionally, maintaining good blood sugar control through diet and exercise can also help improve these spots.
