I've had this splinter stuck in my finger for around 5 months now, and no matter how hard I try, I can't find it or get it out. Now there's this hard bump that's super sensitive and sometimes painful when I press on it. There's this one spot that's particularly tender, right where the splinter originally was. I've cut away dead skin and tried to find it so many times, but this bump just keeps coming back after about a week. What should I do about this?

I'm kind of worried because I've noticed that dirt seems to be falling from my balls and it sometimes itches. Also, when it starts itching, I can see these tiny black particles falling off. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I've developed a rash under my breast, and sometimes it gets really itchy. It's actually been spreading more each day, and I'm starting to get a bit worried. Should I be seeing a gynecologist about this, or would a dermatologist be better? Any advice would be appreciated.
