My daughter is really struggling with lice and nits, and it's been a nightmare for us. We've tried using Mediker for a whole month now, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. I'm really worried and wondering if you could suggest something that works more quickly and provides a permanent solution.

I've noticed this small lump, kind of pea-sized, under the skin on my right butt cheek, right where it connects with my thigh. It's pretty hard to the touch and really painful, especially when I sit. There's also some dark red-ish discoloration on the skin. Do you think this is anything serious or could it be a cyst or something else?

It sounds like you might have a painful bump, possibly an ingrown hair, cyst, or a localized infection. Its best to avoid pressing on it. Keep the area clean, and apply warm compresses to reduce pain and swelling. If the bump doesnt improve or worsens, consider seeing a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with this really itchy scalp issue, and it's getting worse. Whenever I scratch my scalp, these tiny crystals or granules come out under my nails. There's also a plaque-like thing on my scalp, and because of it, my hair is falling out and I feel even more itchy. It's really frustrating. What could be causing this and what should I do?

To help with the itching and flaking, you can try using a medicated shampoo containing coal tar or salicylic acid. Make sure to leave the shampoo on for at least 5-10 minutes before rinsing off. Additionally, you can use a topical corticosteroid solution on the affected areas of your scalp. It is important to follow the instructions provided with these products and use them regularly for best results.
