I've had this strange lump near my elbow on the inside of my upper left arm for a few years now. It's about 1cm across, not really visible from the outside. When I touch it, it's kind of firm, but it doesn't hurt unless I press down hard. It feels circular, and I can almost flip it upside down if I try to. Should I be worried?

I've been dealing with pimples for the last four years, and they always seem to leave these persistent marks on my cheeks and nose. It's getting really frustrating, and I'm desperate for a solution to get rid of these marks for good. Can you suggest a permanent remedy that could help me clear up my face?

For permanent removal of pimple marks, consider consulting a dermatologist for professional treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser skin resurfacing, and in the meantime, try home remedies like applying aloe vera gel, turmeric paste, or tea tree oil to the affected areas, and maintain a consistent skincare routine, including exfoliating, using sunscreen, and products containing salicylic acid or niacinamide to help reduce acne and prevent scarring.

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
