Question

I've recently noticed that I've got this scar on my buttocks that's turned into a round shape. It's been super itchy, especially at night, and I've also seen white flakes of skin peeling off. The skin's also got darker, and the whole area seems to be growing. I've tried using itch guard and onabet, but things aren't getting better. What might be causing this, and what should I do next?

Question

I've noticed this black lump inside the skin on my index finger. It's not painful, but the skin feels kind of rough right around the black dot. Can you take a look at the image and let me know what you think this might be? I'm a bit concerned.

Question

I've been struggling with dark circles under my eyes for the past 10 years. I've tried several dark circle creams, but nothing seems to work. Could this be linked to my digestive system, even though I don't have any digestive problems? Also, I'm noticing premature grey hair and experiencing hair loss. Do you think these issues require a physical examination, or is there something else I should consider?

Question

I'm a bit worried because I've been using minoxidil 5% for about five days now, and I've really been struggling with getting a good night's sleep. Could this sleeplessness be a side effect of minoxidil?
