I've noticed some lumps in my mons pubis area about a month after I shaved there. They're not very big, just a bit red, and they only hurt when I touch or gently push them. I'm thinking it might be an abscess from shaving. I'm not married, so I'm wondering if there's an antibiotic cream you could recommend or if you have any other suggestions for what might help?

I'm a bit concerned about the hair growth around a wound on my chin where I had a mole removed. The stitches are healing, but I'm noticing the hair from my stubble is growing in different directions, making it look all bunched up in the area near the wound. Just wondering, once the scar tissue settles, will the hair start growing normally again? Will it stop looking all bunched together?

When the scar tissue settles down, the hair growth pattern may improve. In the meantime, you can try using Minoxidil solution to promote hair growth and improve the appearance of the area. Apply Minoxidil 5% solution twice daily on the affected area for better results.

I've been dealing with an issue on my face and underarms for about a year now. I've tried using luliconazole and ketoconazole ointments, and even took oral tablets like onecan and itraconazole, but nothing seems to fully solve the problem. The ketoconazole ointment seems to control it for a bit, but then it just comes back. Can you please help me figure out what's going on?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
