View allI have multiple lipomas in different parts of my body and I'm wondering if there's any way to treat them without surgery
There’s no proven non-surgical treatment to eliminate lipomas. Surgery is the only definitive removal, though small lipomas can be monitored if asymptomatic.

I've been feeling this intense heat on the top of my head whenever I place my hand there. Some people mention it might be due to body heat, so I've tried doing an oil bath 3 to 4 times, but it hasn't really helped. I'm just wondering what might be causing this and what kind of doctor I should see about it?
The persistent heat sensation in your head, despite frequent oil baths, could be related to various factors, including stress, anxiety, or underlying medical conditions, such as hypertension, thyroid disorders, or neurological issues, so consider consulting a neurologist

I'm really worried because my armpits have been burning a lot lately, and I've tried using Aloe vera gel, but now there's a ton of itching. I was considering laser treatment to help with these awful dark spots on my skin, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. What do you think I should do?
