My mom's got this lump in her butt. It just keeps popping up, getting bigger, then bursts and causes her pain. Then it disappears, but eventually, it comes back, and the whole cycle starts again. What could be causing this, and should we be worried?

I've been dealing with hair problems for the last 23 years, and now my scalp is starting to show, especially in the middle. Can you please give me some advice on what I can do about this issue?
I recommend using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of the scalp. Additionally, you can take Biotin tablets 10,000 mcg once daily to promote hair growth and overall hair health. Make sure to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid excessive heat styling or harsh chemical treatments on your hair.
