I've had this small skin tag near my anus for about 23 years. It's not a hemorrhoid because it doesnt hurt, but it does swell up a bit during bowel movements. Im really curious to know if this is actually a skin tag or if it could be something else. Also, how can I get it removed?

I've got a sebaceous pilar cyst on my head, and I'm looking to get it removed. I'm really worried and curiouswill my hair grow back after the cyst is taken out?

Sebaceous pilar cysts can be removed through a minor surgical procedure called excision. Hair typically grows back after the removal of a sebaceous pilar cyst, as long as the hair follicles are not damaged during the procedure. It is important to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your healthcare provider to promote proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.

My skin just keeps getting darker lately and I'm really starting to worry. I've been trying a bunch of things like blood purifying medicines, loads of cosmetics, drinking a ton of water, and staying out of the sun and heat, but nothing seems to work. It's getting pretty frustrating because I just want my natural complexion back. Could you suggest something that actually helps?
