I've had this skin allergy on my stomach and back for almost three weeks now. It's a red circle with small dots outside and really itchy, kind of like those ring guard ones. I've tried calamine lotion and taken some Avil, but it's still bothering me. Any idea what's going on or what else I should do?

I'm a bit worried because I've noticed a hard, greenish-blue lump under the skin on my right hand. It's about 2mm in size, doesn't move, and isn't painful. Could you tell me what this might be? Should I be concerned about this?

Concerns about medication safety while breastfeeding are natural. _Zerodol P (Aceclofenac + Paracetamol) while breastfeeding:_ 1. _Caution advised_: Both aceclofenac and paracetamol are excreted in breast milk, but in small amounts. 2. _Short-term use might be okay_: If you need to take Zerodol P for a short period (e.g., 1-2 days), it's likely safe while breastfeeding. 3. _Consult your doctor_: However, it's essential to consult your doctor or a lactation consultant to discuss the risks and benefits. _Glemont (Montelukast) while breastfeeding:_ 1. _Generally considered safe_: Montelukast is excreted in breast milk, but in small amounts, and is generally considered safe while breastfeeding. 2. _Continue with caution_: If you've been taking Glemont and your doctor recommends continuing, you can likely safely do so while breastfeeding. _Breastfeeding precautions:_ 1. _Monitor your baby_: Watch for any changes in your baby's behavior, such as fussiness, sleepiness, or changes in feeding patterns. 2. _Consult a lactation consultant_: If you have concerns or questions, consult a lactation consultant for personalized guidance.

I had a boil on my hip line a few months back, and it had to be surgically cut to drain the pus. I'm starting to feel that same kind of pain again, but theres no actual boil yet. Is there any way to stop it from forming into a full-on boil this time?
