View allI've noticed some fat deposits under my skin and new ones keep appearing. Is this something harmful or just a cosmetic issue? What's the best way to remove them, and how does the surgical removal process work? Could you also give me an idea about the cost of the procedure?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been using iwin 200 mg, Dezlorid 5mg, and ebernate cream for about 40 days. They helped at first, but my symptoms came back after finishing the course. I tried the same medication for another week, and it eased off, but now it's back again. I'm really hoping to find a permanent solution. What do you recommend?
The treatment for fungal infection is simple. You have to take anti fungal tablets and creams for 4 to 6 weeks following which it resolves. Do not apply soap on that area and do not self treat with over the counter steroid creams. Mistreatment with steroid creams like panderm, fourderm, betnovate, candid b etc and self treatment with cheaper generic medicine is the most common reason for recurrent disease. Another cause of recurrence is cross infection from other infected people in the house.

I'm trying to figure out if kojic acid cream is actually effective, and I'm also considering melaglow cream. I'm feeling a bit confused between these two options. Could you help clarify which one might be better?
Kojic acid cream is commonly used to lighten skin discoloration such as dark spots, age spots, and melasma. It works by inhibiting the production of melanin in the skin. You can try using Kojic acid cream twice daily on the affected areas for best results. Melaglow cream is also used to lighten dark spots and improve overall skin tone. It contains a combination of glycolic acid, arbutin, and niacinamide which help in reducing pigmentation and brightening the skin. You can apply Melaglow cream once daily at night on the affected areas. Both creams can be effective, but it's important to use them consistently and as directed for optimal results. Remember to use sunscreen during the day while using these creams to protect your skin from further damage.
