I've noticed a pretty big red pimple under my left breast. It's turned dark now, and I've got a few smaller red pimples nearby. I'm really scared this might be something serious like breast cancer. I started exercising almost every day, but I'm not wearing a sports bra, just a regular tight one. Could the sweat and friction from that be causing these to show up under just one breast?

Don't worry, I'm here to help you figure out what might be going on.
The symptoms you're describing - a red pimple under your left breast that's turned dark, with other small red pimples nearby - are unlikely to be breast cancer. Breast cancer typically presents as a lump or thickening in the breast tissue, not as pimples or skin lesions [1).
That being said, it's always a good idea to get any new or changing skin symptoms checked out by a doctor. They can take a closer look and provide a proper diagnosis.
As for the possible causes, sweat and friction from exercising and wearing a tight bra could definitely contribute to skin irritation and pimples in that area. This is especially likely if you're not wearing a sports bra that fits well and allows for good airflow

View allI'm wondering if it's okay to use calak lotion on my skin, even though I don't have any issues with it right now. Is it fine to apply this lotion at night, and is it safe to use after putting on a herbal face pack? I'm just trying to make sure I take care of my skin properly.
Yes you can take it ,instead you can also apply good moisturizer

I'm having trouble sitting for the past couple of days because there's a bump on my buttocks. I'm not sure how it got there, but it's really uncomfortable. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
The bump on your buttocks could be a pilonidal cyst, abscess, or boil, and to alleviate the discomfort, apply warm compresses, maintain good hygiene, and consider consulting a general surgeon for a proper diagnosis and treatment, which may include antibiotics or drainage.
