I've had this sore for about three months now and it's not healing. It started as just a pimple between my butt cheeks, close to the anus, and now it won't dry up. Every time I take a bath or go to the bathroom, it just seems to stay unhealed. I've tried using a band-aid, but it's hard to apply in that area, and I've been putting neosporin gel and powder on it, but it hasn't improved. It's not a big wound, just about a 3mm radius, but it's really bothering me. Do you have any advice on what I can do to finally heal it?

I'm a guy who's really struggling with pubic hair. It's super itchy when the shaved hair grows back, and I've got these spots where three hairs are coming out of one pore. It feels like scratching nails. I want to get rid of all my pubic hair permanently. Ive heard about laser removal, but Im worried about the pain and curious about the costs. Can you suggest a place in Pune that offers painless laser removal around the penis area?

I recently started experiencing a warm sensation on my left foot's dorsal side, and it comes and goes really quickly. It just started happening after I cleaned my bathroom with hypochlorite. I've never had this feeling until I did the cleaning, and it was my first time doing it myself. Could the chemical exposure be causing this? I'm a bit worried, and Id really like to understand what might be going on.
