I've noticed some dark spots under my armpits and the skin there is quite a bit darker than the rest of my skin. It's strange because there are these dark spots on the upper part too. Should I be worried about this or is there something I can do about it?

The dark-colored spots and hyperpigmentation under your armpits may be caused by excessive sweating, shaving, or friction, and can be treated with topical creams containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, or retinoids, as well as home remedies like turmeric, lemon juice, or cucumber, and maintaining good hygiene and using gentle hair removal methods.

I've had this pea-sized lump on my bikini line for almost two years now. It sometimes oozes pus, and while I've had similar ones before, they've never lasted this longusually just a week or so. This one feels hard and sometimes shrinks a lot, but then it puffs back up again. Should I be worried about it, and what could it possibly be?
It sounds like you may have a recurrent abscess in your bikini area. I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and applying it to the affected area twice a day after cleaning it with mild soap and water. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. If the lump does not improve or if you develop a fever, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and possible drainage of the abscess.

I'm starting to notice more and more white hairs popping up above my ears on both sides. It began with just one or two about a year and a half ago, but they're definitely increasing now. Should I be concerned, or is this just a normal part of aging?
