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?

View allI'm really worried because I've been experiencing massive hair loss after having dengue fever. My dermatologist tells me it's called Telogen Effluvium. Every day, it feels like my hair is just falling out in chunks, and I'm terrified that I might lose all of it soon. In just two weeks, I've lost half of my hair, and it's really shaking my confidence to the point where I just want to hide away. I'm wondering if I should start wearing a wig and just hope for the best. Is there any chance my hair will grow back, or should I be prepared for the possibility of going bald? This whole thing is incredibly stressful and I'm struggling to cope. Looking for some advice on what I should do.

I've got a pretty big boil on my left calf, and after a while, it started leaking pus and blood for around 15 days. It's been about 10 days since I began using antibiotics and ointment, as my dermatologist suggested, but it still isn't healing. I change the dressing with silver sulphadiazine gel every time. I'm really worried and wondering what might be going on. Any idea why it's not improving?
