There's a lump on my left buttock, and this is the ninth time it's happened in the same spot. I visited a gynecologist, and she mentioned it might be an abscess. Could you help me understand what might be causing this to keep coming back? Is there anything I should be worried about, or does this require a particular treatment or lifestyle change to prevent it in the future?

I'm trying to figure out which scar gel works best in the shortest amount of time. I've come across Mederma scar gel and Scae end silicone gel. Could you please recommend which one might be more effective for quicker results? I'm really looking for something that works fast.
I recommend using Mederma scar gel. Apply a thin layer of Mederma gel on the scar 3-4 times a day for at least 8 weeks to see improvement.

I've been dealing with this dry patch on my inner upper thigh that's making me a bit concerned. It's flaky, white, and it keeps itching which is kind of uncomfortable. I've noticed it for the past few days. My thighs are pretty close together, and I usually just use regular soap when I shower. Could something like my soap be causing this, or is it more likely due to my thighs rubbing together? What can I do to get rid of this dryness and itching?
It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection, such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Luliconazole twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding tight underwear can help with the healing process.
