I've noticed my skin has become really dark and oily, and there's no glow anymore. This isn't related to any genetic issues. When I was about 8 years old, I had frequent cold, cough, high fevers, and stomach pains, leading to taking a lot of medicine. Could that be why my skin changed? I'm hoping there's some kind of treatment to get my skin back to normal. What do you think might help?

I've had a red fluid-filled cyst on my scalp for 7 years with no pain should I be worried about it and does it need surgery will they have to shave my hair for the procedure I'm really concerned

A red, fluid-filled cyst on the scalp that has been present for 7 years and is painless is likely a benign pilar cyst. While most cysts don't require treatment, it's still best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and to discuss if removal is recommended. Surgery is a common treatment for these cysts, but it doesn't always require shaving the hair
