Pus keeps coming out of my belly button with a foul smell and the skin around it gets red and rashy I try not to scratch it When I use boroline antiseptic cream for a few weeks it clears up but comes back soon after I also have c-section stitches and get rashes there too Could these two issues be connected I've had SLE for 5 years but was told to stop meds for it now

My sister has been dealing with white patches on both sides of her lower lips, around 2 cm each, for the past 3 years. We've tried treatments but nothing worked, and now the doctor is suggesting surgery. She's really upset because it's affecting her confidence and even marriage prospects. Is surgery the only option or are there other ways to treat these white patches?

I've got this thing going on where I have symptoms that seem like a lipoma on my head. It's been there for about three years, and it's slowly been getting bigger. It also tends to hurt, especially when I'm stressed. I'm really curious about what might be causing this and what options I have for dealing with it. Where should I go first to get some answers or treatment for this?
