Hey, so I've noticed a weird lump on my buttocks that popped up last month. At first, I thought it was just a heat boil, so I used a pain relief patch and eventually thought it healed. But now it's come back, and I'm not sure what's going on. Do you have any idea what this could be or what I should do about it?

I'm not capable of viewing images, but based on your description, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor or dermatologist to examine the lump and determine the cause, as it could be a sign of an underlying condition, such as a cyst, abscess, or skin infection.

I've been noticing these brown pigmentation patches on my upper cheeks and nose, and it's really bothering me. They're like a strip and my skin overall just seems dull and older-looking than it should. Plus, I'm constantly dealing with blackheads on my nose. I know I have combination skin with visible pores but I'm not sure what to do about all these issues. Do you have any advice or tips to help improve my skin situation?

That could be mellasma, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
