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'm a bit confused about a product I've been prescribed. It's called Konaz ZP, and I was told it should be used as a shampoo. But when I checked the label, it actually says it's a lotion. So now I'm unsure about how to properly use it. Could it be possible that there's a mix-up, or is this common? How should I go about using it as a shampoo, if it's labeled otherwise?

yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent

I'm curious about melanin cream and if it's safe to use on my face every day. Im 20 and in college, so I'm wondering if it will really give my skin a glow like they say it does. Could you let me know if it's a good idea, or if there's something better out there for skin tone? Looking forward to your advice.

-Melanin cream can help brighten skin, but it may not be suitable for everyone, especially with regular daily use. Its important to check for any skin sensitivities. I'd recommend consulting a dermatologist to find a safer, more effective option tailor
