View allI've had multiple small lipomas on both hands for the past 23 years, with some on my stomach and chest too. About 12 of them hurt when pressed hard. New ones keep appearing, and some older ones are getting bigger. Every doctor I've seen says surgery is the only option, but there are so many and I'm worried about scarring. Is there a safe treatment that can stop new lipomas from forming?
excision is advised to the patient,also surgery opinion at apollo hospital for further tt.

I've been off minoxidil for about three months now and I'm really worried because my hair is thinning and falling out more since I stopped. Originally, I was using it for acne and hair fall, and eventually switched to a stronger dose, but then I had some side effects like an itchy scalp, a racing heart, and swollen eyes, so I had to quit. Before starting minoxidil, my hair was nice and thick, and it even stayed that way while I was on it. But now, it's really thin. I'm currently trying BTN ultra biotin tablets to help out. How long will this hair fall continue and when will my hair get back to normal? Any advice would be appreciated.
When you stop using minoxidil, hair shedding is common because the hair growth stimulated by minoxidil enters a resting phase. This shedding period can last a few weeks to a few months, depending on individual factors. However, for many, hair fall should stabilize within 3-6 months after stopping minoxidil, and the hair should return to its previous state (before minoxidil) over time. To support your hair during this period: - Maintain a Healthy Diet: Nutrients like biotin, vitamins A, D, E, and minerals like zinc and iron are important. BTN Ultra biotin can support hair health, but ensure a balanced intake. - Reduce Stress: Stress management can help reduce hair loss and improve recovery. - Use Mild Hair Products: Avoid harsh chemicals and use gentle shampoos to support your scalp. If the hair fall continues or worsens, a follow-up with your dermatologist may be beneficial for personalized advice and to rule out other underlying causes.

I'm using Dr. Reddy's Clearz skin cream to help with my dark spots. After I put it on in the morning, how long should I leave it on before washing my face?
Dr. Reddy's Clearz Skin Cream is a topical treatment for dark spots. _Recommended Usage_ 1. _Apply a thin layer_: In the morning, apply a thin layer of Clearz Skin Cream to the affected area. 2. _Leave it on for 6-8 hours_: Allow the cream to work its way into your skin for at least 6-8 hours. 3. _Wash your face at night_: You can wash your face with a gentle cleanser at night, before bedtime. _Additional Tips_ 1. _Use sunscreen_: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 after washing your face in the morning. 2. _Avoid over-washing_: Wash your face only twice a day, morning and night, to maintain the skin's natural moisture balance. 3. _Be patient_: Consistency and patience are key.
