I've got this really painful issue down there. I had a skin tag and someone suggested I use garlic paste on it. But now, my anus and the area around it are badly burned, and it's super painful. The skin turned white and red in places. I'm not sure what to do about it, and I'm really worried. Can you advise me on how to deal with this?

I've just noticed these strange red lines on my left thumb, index finger, and ring finger. They seem to appear in pairs of two. I'm 20, and this happened right after I did a 30-minute mini trampoline workout. Could the workout have something to do with it? Should I be concerned about these marks? What could this be?
