I've got this lump on my pubic area that's really worrying me. It's painful, reddish, and there's pus and blood coming out. The top of the lump looks pretty red too. I'm not sure what it could be, and it's freaking me out a bit. Should I be concerned or see someone about it?

A painful, red, and swollen lump with pus and blood in the pubic area may indicate a sebaceous cyst, abscess, or infected ingrown hair; however, it's crucial to consult a doctor or dermatologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis, as it could also be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a Bartholin's cyst or hidradenitis suppurativa, and may require treatment with antibiotics, drainage, or minor surgery.

View allI'm using Tugain 10 and I've noticed that when I exercise, I end up sweating a lot on my scalp. Is it normal to sweat from the scalp after applying Tugain 10? Also, how long should I stay awake after applying it, and how soon can I put on a helmet?
This is a common side effect of the medication. You can continue to use Tugain 10 despite sweating from the scalp. You should wait for at least 4 hours after applying Tugain 10 before going to bed to ensure the medication is fully absorbed into the scalp. As for using a helmet, it is recommended to wait for at least 2 hours after applying Tugain 10 before wearing a helmet to prevent interference with the absorption of the medication.

I've noticed that my skin tone has gotten darker over the years. I used to have a lighter, whitish complexion until around ages 10 or 11, but it's changed gradually since then. I went to a dermatologist who recommended a skin lightening cream called Declipse, but I've been using it for a month without seeing much improvement. I'm feeling a bit concerned and unsure what to do next. Any advice would be really appreciated!

I'm concerned about this connection between vitamin D deficiency and seborrheic dermatitis. My vitamin D levels are at 10.53, which seems low, and I have seborrheic dermatitis. My doctor mentioned there's no link, but I read somewhere that vitamin D deficiency might cause seborrheic dermatitis. I'm confused and would appreciate some clarity on whether there's any real connection or if it's just a coincidence. Could my low vitamin D be affecting my skin condition in some way?
