View allI have a mole on my forehead that I've had since birth and I'm thinking about getting it removed. How much does the surgery usually cost and will there be a scar after? If it does leave a mark, how long until it fades? Are there any safe ways to remove it at home or is surgery the only option?
Mole removal costs ₹3,000–₹10,000; mild scar may remain and fade in months—home removal isn’t safe.

I've suddenly developed a skin allergy that started yesterday afternoon, and I'm really confused because there hasn't been any change in my diet. It's now spread across my whole body, and I'm quite worried. Could it be something other than food that's causing this? What should I do next?
Lobate GN cream 15 gm for local application for atleast 2 weeks is advised to the patient,any allergic reactions kindly stop the medication advised dermat opinion.

I'm dealing with genital warts for the past 3 months. It started with just 12 warts, but now they seem to be increasing. Could you tell me what the best treatment options are? I'm really concerned about this and would appreciate your advice.
Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be treated with prescription medications. One of the most common treatments is using imiquimod cream (brand name Aldara). You can apply a thin layer of Aldara cream on the warts before bedtime, three times a week for up to 16 weeks. Another option is podofilox solution (brand name Condylox), which you can apply directly to the warts twice a day for three consecutive days, followed by four days off. This cycle can be repeated up to four times. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
