I've got this tiny bump, about the size of a pea or smaller, on the bridge of my nose. It's been there for less than a week, and it's a bit red. It doesn't really hurt unless I press on it, but I can see a little bit of white pus under the surface. It doesn't seem like it's going to pop anytime soon. Any idea what this could be? Should I be worried about it? I can send a picture if that helps.

View allI'm really worried about these cholesterol deposits under my eyes. I've heard about laser treatments that might help. Can you tell me if that's a good option and if it's safe? I just want to get them removed somehow.
Probable diagnosis is xanthelasma. Treatment includes cryotherapy and statins.

I'm starting to worry because I've been using minoxidil 5% hair 4 u lotion to treat my balding, and now my scalp is peeling and I have flakes coming out. It's really concerning since these problems only occur in the areas where I apply the minoxidil. I tried ketoconazole but its not helping at all. Is it possible that the minoxidil is causing these side effects? What else can I do to stop the flaking and roughness on my scalp? Would love some advice on this.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a side effect of using minoxidil. To help with the peeling and flaking of the scalp, you can try using a gentle shampoo like Nizoral shampoo containing ketoconazole 2-3 times a week. In addition, you can use a moisturizing scalp lotion like Cetaphil Restoraderm lotion to help soothe the dry and irritated skin. Make sure to apply the minoxidil only to a dry scalp and allow it to fully dry before applying any other products. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."
