I've noticed a small lump in my armpit, and it's swollen and hurts a bit when I move my arm. Should I be worried about this?

It sounds like you may have a swollen lymph node in your armpit, which can be caused by various reasons such as infection or inflammation. To help reduce the swelling and pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the area for 10-15 minutes a few times a day. If the swelling and pain persist or worsen, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with this rash near my belly button for the past two months. I saw a dermatologist and got an ointment that helped for a bit, but as soon as it runs out, the rash comes back. What could be causing this? Should I be worried about it, and is there a long-term solution? I'm concerned about why it just won't go away.
It sounds like you may be dealing with a recurring rash near your belly button. Since the ointment prescribed by your dermatologist provided temporary relief but the rash keeps coming back, I recommend trying an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing that may irritate the rash further. If the rash persists, follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation.
