I'm dealing with these small itchy bumps just inside my butt, near the anus. It's really uncomfortable because they itch a lot, and even when I try not to scratch, bits of my skin come off. I've got a picture if that would help explain it better. What do you think it could be?

View allI'm 31 years old and I've noticed a fatty tissue under my right armpit. It's not a lipoma, so I'm not sure what it is or what I should do about it. Can you help me figure out what steps to take next?

I'm starting to worry because I've been using minoxidil 5% hair 4 u lotion to treat my balding, and now my scalp is peeling and I have flakes coming out. It's really concerning since these problems only occur in the areas where I apply the minoxidil. I tried ketoconazole but its not helping at all. Is it possible that the minoxidil is causing these side effects? What else can I do to stop the flaking and roughness on my scalp? Would love some advice on this.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a side effect of using minoxidil. To help with the peeling and flaking of the scalp, you can try using a gentle shampoo like Nizoral shampoo containing ketoconazole 2-3 times a week. In addition, you can use a moisturizing scalp lotion like Cetaphil Restoraderm lotion to help soothe the dry and irritated skin. Make sure to apply the minoxidil only to a dry scalp and allow it to fully dry before applying any other products. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."

I'm not sure what's going on, but every now and then I get this weird greasy warm feeling on my lips. They feel dry and normal when I touch them, but when I lick them, they taste just like grease. It's the strangest thing, and I've tried telling my doctors about it, but they just look at me like I'm crazy. It doesn't happen all the time; it just comes out of nowhereeven while I'm just watching TV or something. And it's not even my whole lipusually just a small part. Any idea what this could be?
