I've got this pretty big lump, even bigger than a quarter, right in my butt crack, about three inches from my anus. I think it might have pus in it. I've had smaller lumps like this before, but they've never been this big or painful. What could be going on, and should I be worried about it?

I've never had bruises like this from a blood draw before, and it's been 4 days now. They started out black and have turned dark brown, with a lot of pain and tenderness, and it seems to be getting worse. I'm even more concerned because I'm 7 weeks pregnant. Should I be worried about these huge bruises and the pain? Is this normal or should I get it checked out?

Miracle plus cream for local application, for atleast 4-6 weeks is advised.

I've noticed that my lips have gotten darker because of some medication side effects, and I'm really worried about it. I used to have naturally red lips, and I'm considering laser treatments to lighten them. Could you help me understand if this is a good option or if there are any other treatments I should look into?

Laser treatment may help lighten dark lips caused by side effects of medical drugs. In addition to laser treatment, you can also consider using a lip lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. It is important to protect your lips from sun exposure by using a lip balm with SPF. Consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment plan.
