View allI've been dealing with a persistent pimple on my eyebrow for about a month now. It's getting harder and seems to be growing bigger every day. Should I be worried? What might be causing this, and what can I do to treat it?
A persistent pimple on your eyebrow can be frustrating and concerning. Possible Causes 1. Infected hair follicle: A bacterial infection, such as folliculitis, can cause a hard, painful pimple. 2. Ingrown hair: An ingrown hair can cause inflammation, leading to a hard pimple. 3. Cyst or abscess: A cyst or abscess can form under the skin, causing a hard, painful lump. 4. Allergic reaction: An allergic reaction to a product, such as a hair care or makeup product, can cause a skin reaction, including a hard pimple. Home Remedies 1. Warm compresses: Apply a warm, damp washcloth to the area for 5-10 minutes, 2-3 times a day, to help bring the pus and bacteria to the surface. 2. Tea tree oil: Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil like coconut or olive oil and apply it to the affected area to help reduce inflammation and combat bacteria. 3. Aloe vera: Apply aloe vera gel to the affected area to help soothe and calm the skin. Medical Treatment 1. Consult a dermatologist: If the pimple persists, worsens, or becomes severely painful, consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment. 2. Antibiotics or topical creams: A dermatologist may prescribe antibiotics or topical creams to help clear up the infection. 3. Drainage or extraction: In some cases, a dermatologist may need to drain or extract the pimple to help clear up the infection.

I've been dealing with hair fall ever since I turned 20 and I've tried relying on stuff like minoxidil and procepia. They seem to work only as long as I use them, and stopping them makes the hair fall start up again. But once I got to college, I noticed that after I quit masturbating, my hair seemed to stop falling out. It's been three months since I last did, and my hairs actually looking better. So, I'm kind of curious, does masturbation really cause hair fall?

I'm really worried about my boyfriend. He developed this small bump in his upper pubic area that looked like a pimple at first. We assumed it was just an ingrown hair. But it's been really painful and just keeps getting bigger. Now it's about the size of my fingertip, bright red, and the center looks hollow, almost like something's eating away at it. We're not sure if it could be a bug bite or what. Do you have any idea what this might be and how we should handle it?
It's essential to consult a SURGEON for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. Possible causes of the bump could be: 1. Infected ingrown hair or folliculitis 2. Abscess or boil 3. Cyst or sebaceous cyst 4. Skin infection like cellulitis or erysipelas 5. Insect bite or sting Given the symptoms you described, such as: - Increasing size and pain - Bright red color - Hollow center
