I've got this small pimple near my anus and it really hurts when I touch it. Could you help me figure out what I can do about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
I recommend using an over-the-counter cream containing 2.5% hydrocortisone to reduce inflammation and pain. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for up to a week. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen to help with the pain. If the pimple does not improve or if you experience any worsening symptoms, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation

View allI'm dealing with some concerning symptoms and could really use some advice. It began with small red dots on the skin of my penis and upper thighs, which then turned into an itch that comes and goes, leaving behind black spots. Now, the itching has returned with a vengeance, it's even more intense, and my penis seems to be a bit swollen. I've ordered Scaboma, thinking it might be scabies. Does this sound like scabies to you, or should I be worried about something else? Any suggestions on what I should do next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of scabies. Scaboma is a suitable treatment for scabies. You can apply Permethrin 5% cream (Scaboma) all over your body from neck down to toes at night and wash it off the next morning. Repeat this after 7 days. Additionally, you can take Cetirizine 10mg once daily for itching relief. Make sure to wash all your clothes, bedding, and towels in hot water to prevent reinfestation.

I've had this bump on my skin for about six months now, and it keeps oozing a semi-solid pus. Should I be worried? Would I need surgery to get rid of it?
Yes, you should be concerned about a skin bump that has been present for six months and is oozing pus. It's important to seek medical attention to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment, which may involve surgical drainage in some cases.
