I have a few pits on my nose around 3cm in size along with many smaller ones that seem to produce oil and a white creamy substance. Can this be treated without plastic surgery or would I need it? I'd also like to improve the shape of my nose what options do I have for that?

The bumps and pits on your nose, along with the oily and white substance, likely indicate sebaceous hyperplasia and sebaceous filaments. These are benign skin conditions that can be managed with skincare routines and treatments. For nose reshaping, rhinoplasty (either surgical or non-surgical) is an option.

I've been dealing with a persistent Tinea infection on different parts of my body like the inner thighs, groin, belt area, and armpits for nearly 45 months now. I tried a treatment course for a month, taking Tab Prugo 10 once daily, Cap Canditral 100 once a day, and using Ointment Propyzole at night and Ointment Sebifin during the day. I repeated this twice with an increased dosage the second time. Each time I take the medicine, the infection seems to go away for a bit but then comes back once I've finished the course. Can you suggest a more effective treatment to finally get rid of this Tinea for good?

Probable diagnosis is fungal infection. Candid cream for local application is advised for 2 weeks, along with tab levocetrizine 10 mg orally,daily for 5 days is advised to the patient.

I'm a guy who's really struggling with pubic hair. It's super itchy when the shaved hair grows back, and I've got these spots where three hairs are coming out of one pore. It feels like scratching nails. I want to get rid of all my pubic hair permanently. Ive heard about laser removal, but Im worried about the pain and curious about the costs. Can you suggest a place in Pune that offers painless laser removal around the penis area?
