I've had this small lump on my skin near the pubic area for the past 9 months and I'm not really sure what it is. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

A small lump near the pubic area that has been present for 9 months could be a variety of things such as a cyst, lipoma, or an enlarged lymph node. I recommend you to use an antibiotic cream like Neosporin and consult with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management

I'm concerned because I've been using Beta GC ointment for around two years for itching and pimples on my face, based on my doctor's advice. I've been applying it once every 8 to 10 days, but if I stop, I get these small pimple-like bumps and the itching starts up again. Now I'm really worried because I can't find the tube in the market anymore. What should I do?

I've been dealing with a fissure for the past 6 months and had to use sitz baths in warm water. Now I'm experiencing a burning sensation on my scrotum, and I'm also diabetic. The right side of my scrotum is painful, especially at the upper end. I'm really getting mentally frustrated with all of this. What could be going on? Can you help?

I'm so sorry to hear that you're experiencing a burning sensation in your scrotum, especially after dealing with fissures for six months. Given your symptoms and medical history, it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a urologist or a dermatologist, to determine the underlying cause of the burning sensation. That being said, here are some potential causes and factors to consider: Potential Causes 1. Diabetes-related complications: High blood sugar levels can damage nerves and cause numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in the genital area. 2. Fissure-related complications: The sitz baths and fissure treatment might have caused skin irritation, leading to the burning sensation. 3. Scrotal dermatitis: Inflammation of the scrotal skin, possibly caused by irritation, allergies, or infections. 4. Balanitis: Inflammation of the glans penis, which can cause burning sensations in the scrotum. 5. Nerve damage: Damage to the nerves in the scrotal area, possibly caused by diabetes, trauma, or surgery.
