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?

View allI'm dealing with a really stubborn boil in a sensitive area, and it's just not going away. I used T bact or bactafuz cream like I heard it's supposed to help, and I did a round of antibiotics for three days, but there's no improvement yet. Do you think I need more antibiotics, or should I try something different? I'm starting to worry a bit that it's not getting better.
T Bact or Bactafuz cream can be effective in treating boils in sensitive areas. In addition to the cream, you can also consider taking an oral antibiotic like Augmentin 625mg twice daily for 5-7 days to help with the healing process. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing that may irritate the boil. If the boil does not improve or if you develop fever or worsening pain, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because most of my hair is turning white, and I'm still a teenager. Is there any kind of tablet or lotion that can help with this? I'm really hoping for some advice.

I've got these rashes around my private area that were starting to feel better when I was using candid B powder, but now there's this painful lump that's just popped up recently. I'm worried and trying to figure out what might be causing this and what kind of treatment would help. Any ideas?
The lump around your private area could be a result of a skin infection, possibly an abscess or swollen lymph node. I recommend seeing a doctor for an examination, as they might prescribe antibiotics or drain the lump if necessary. In the meantime, avoid tight clothing and keep the area clean.
