I have a loss of smell and a mild intermittent post nasal drip for about 2.5 months. The loss of smell is intermittent and does not ever come back to normal. I also have moderate Laryngo pharyngeal reflux and only recently have started to try to treat it. Does reflux and LPR cause loss of smell? I have a very inflamed nose and nasopharynx and recently for about 2-3 weeks, I also developed eustachian tube dysfunction. I'm not sure if this is all reflux related or if I should start inhaled steroids for the inflamed nose and nasopharynx. Today, I had a severe burning sensation in my nostrils and was slightly improved with a saline nasal spray. All of these are very baffling symptoms and I am relatively healthy except for these symptoms.

A week ago, I found what I thought was a pimple under my armpit. I squeezed it, which was painful, but some came out. It was red and hot to the touch the next day, and I squeezed again with no results. Now, it has gone down but I still feel it under the skin. It's soft, movable, and feels deep. What is it and what can I do?
