I've got a bump that just popped up on the side of my nose out of nowhere, and it's been hanging around for two weeks. Whenever I try to mess with it, I get this white pus along with some blood from the pores. My skin is super oily and I do get these acne bumps sometimes. I'm wondering what might be going on and how I can get rid of it. Any thoughts?

The sudden bump on your nose could be a:
- Sebaceous cyst
- Pimple or acne cyst
- Ingrown hair
To get rid of the bump:
Self-Care
- Stop picking: Avoid squeezing or picking the bump to prevent further inflammation and scarring.
- Warm compresses: Apply a warm, damp washcloth to the area for 5-7 minutes, 2-3 times a day.
- Keep the area clean: Gently wash your face with a mild cleanser, avoiding harsh products.
Topical Treatments
- Benzoyl peroxide: Apply a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide cream or gel to the affected area.
- Tea tree oil: Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil (coconut or olive oil) and apply it to the bump.
Professional Help
If the bump persists, worsens, or becomes severely inflamed, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
In the meantime, consider:
- Oily skin management: Use oil-free products, and consider a clay-based mask to control oil production.
- Acne treatment: If you're prone to acne, consider consulting a dermatologist for a personalized treatment plan.

I'm having this issue where my right buttock gets really itchy sometimes, and when I touch it, it feels like there's a mosquito bite there, even though I know it's not. The skin looks normal and isn't dry, which is confusing me. Any quick remedies or creams you can suggest to help with the itching?
sounds like you may be experiencing some form of skin irritation or allergy on your right buttock. To help relieve the itching and discomfort, you can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine cream such as Benadryl cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area up to 3-4 times a day. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Claritin to help reduce itching from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management."
