I've noticed this firm lump between the skin of my inner thigh. It's weird because it doesn't hurt unless I press on it a bit, then it hurts. It's kind of like an inflammation, but it's hard to the touch. What could this be, and should I be worried about it?

I've always thought I had good hair, but over time, I've noticed it's not as dense as it used to be. I've constantly struggled with dandruff too. In Bangalore, the water is quite hard, and we usually use borewell or tank water for bathing. I'm wondering if washing my hair with KENT purifier water, which has a TDS level of 80, could have any negative effects. Could this be a better option for my hair problems?

You can purchase and use water softeners on a bucket of water before taking bath.

I've been dealing with cracked nipples for as long as I can remember, and nothing seems to work. I've tried all sorts of lotions and creams for about two years and even turned to homeopathy for the past six months, but I haven't noticed any improvement. I'm not pregnant, and I honestly don't know why this is happening. Do you have any suggestions or ideas on what might help?
