I've noticed a dark patch around my waist, groin, and below the pelvic area. I'm a bit worried about what might be causing it. Could this be something serious, and is there a way to treat it? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

Hi there! I'm here to help with your concern about the dark patches in your waist, groin, and below the pelvic area. To provide you with the most accurate assessment, could you please upload a photo of the affected areas? This will help me better understand the condition and suggest appropriate treatment options.
In the meantime, here are a couple of questions to help me gather more information:
When did you first notice these dark patches, and have they changed in size or color over time? Do you experience any other symptoms in these areas, such as itching, pain, or any kind of discharge?

I've been having this burning pain in my left armpit for the past two weeks. I got an ultrasound of my breast, and it showed enlarged lymph nodes in both armpits and a cyst in one breast. But the doctor said that couldn't be the cause of the burning. I'm really curious why there's still this burning sensation. I did notice some redness and irritation in the same armpit about three weeks ago after using some perfume, but that seems to have gotten better. There's no burning in my right armpit. Are there any ideas on what could be causing this since I don't see any visible patch?
This could be due to irritation from the previous reaction to perfume or other underlying causes. I recommend taking an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief cream containing lidocaine may provide some relief. If the pain persists, you may need a prescription for a medication like gabapentin to help with nerve pain. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been taking BTN ultra tablets to help control my grey hair since my doctor first recommended them back in 2016. I used them pretty regularly at that time, and then again on and off in 2017 and 2018, and I didn't notice any negative effects. My doctor mentioned that if I want to continue using these tablets, it's best to do it randomly, like using them for a couple of weeks and then taking a break. So, I'm wondering if its safe to keep using BTN ultra in this random way in the future. Also, is there any risk of side effects from using biotin mineral tablets long-term, even if its not continuous? I'd really appreciate your guidance on this!
