My dad has a large 12 x 8.5 x 7 cm thin-walled cystic lesion filled with fluid in his right upper back between the scapula and spine near the trapezius muscle. The MRI showed no chest involvement. What's the best treatment for this can it be drained with a needle or does it need surgery? Also, which specialist should we see for this?

View allI'm having some trouble with my lower back. While taking a bath, I bent down to soap my legs, and suddenly my lower back started hurting. The pain is now spreading to my legs, and I can't really move around much. It's tough for me to stand or sit properly, and bending down or stretching backward is almost impossible. This started happening around 11:15 am, and it's been 2 hours now. Any advice on what I should do?
Itching After Masturbation: Possible Causes and Solutions_ The itching sensation you're experiencing after masturbation could be related to several factors. Before we discuss medication, let's explore possible causes: 1. *Allergic reactions*: You might be allergic to your own semen or lubricants used during masturbation. 2. *Skin conditions*: Existing skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis can be triggered by masturbation. 3. *Hormonal changes*: Fluctuations in hormone levels, particularly testosterone, can lead to itching sensations. 4. *Nerve stimulation*: Masturbation can stimulate nerves, causing itching or tingling sensations. _Medication and Treatment Options_ To alleviate the itching, consider the following: 1. *Antihistamines*: Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or loratadine (Claritin) can help relieve itching and reduce allergic reactions. 2. *Topical creams*: Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion can soothe itchy skin. 3. *Moisturizers*: Keeping your skin hydrated with gentle moisturizers can help reduce itching. _Lifestyle Changes and Precautions_ 1. *Practice good hygiene*: Wash your hands and genital area before and after masturbation. 2. *Avoid harsh soaps*: Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers to minimize skin irritation. 3. *Reduce frequency*: Consider reducing the frequency of masturbation to see if the itching subsides.
