I've just had my first full body wax, and it's led to some red and itchy bumps on my stomach and back. I've only waxed my arms and legs before and didn't have this reaction. What can I use to help reduce the itchiness and redness? Would a specific cream or tablet be best?

I've noticed this small lump, kind of pea-sized, under the skin on my right butt cheek, right where it connects with my thigh. It's pretty hard to the touch and really painful, especially when I sit. There's also some dark red-ish discoloration on the skin. Do you think this is anything serious or could it be a cyst or something else?

It sounds like you might have a painful bump, possibly an ingrown hair, cyst, or a localized infection. Its best to avoid pressing on it. Keep the area clean, and apply warm compresses to reduce pain and swelling. If the bump doesnt improve or worsens, consider seeing a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment.

I've been using Tugain 5 for a while, but my doctor recently switched me to Minokem F 5. After trying it for about two months, I'm noticing a big increase in hair fall. Im kind of worried and wondering if anyone has any suggestions or ideas about what might be going on, especially since getting an appointment with my doctor isnt that easy right now.

It seems like you may be experiencing a side effect from the new medication. I would recommend discussing this with your doctor to explore other treatment options. In the meantime, you can consider using Minoxidil solution (brand name: Rogaine) as an alternative for hair loss treatment. Apply 1mL of Rogaine solution twice daily on the scalp to promote hair growth.

I've had this stubborn deep black spot on my nose for a while now. I've tried chemical peels and even laser treatments, but nothing seems to work. Is there any cosmetic surgery or other procedure that could finally get rid of it? I'm really worried it might be permanent.

dermat opinion is advised.
