I have a lipoma on my forehead right in the center that feels like a cyst. A few doctors said it's nothing to worry about unless it grows bigger, then surgery might be needed. Is there any other treatment option for this or do I just have to wait and see? It's been bothering me and I'm not sure what to do next.

How are lipomas treated? Most lipomas do not need to be removed unless they are painful or need formal diagnosis. Some people also have lipomas removed if they are in an obvious place and are bothered by how they look. The most common way to remove a lipoma is to cut it out surgically or use liposuction

I'm trying to decide between Opexa gel and Mederma for scar removal and I'm wondering which one works better. Can you also recommend a good cream specifically for acne scars?

I've been using Tretinoin 0.25 cream regularly, and it worked wonders for making my skin bright and tan-free. But after moving to Mumbai post-marriage, my skin's gone dull, and I've started getting pimples. I still use the same cream, yet my face looks lackluster and off. Could you give me some advice on how to fix this?

I'm really worried about a burn scar from Dettol. Does anyone know whether it's going to be a permanent mark or will it eventually fade away? And if it does heal, how long does it normally take for new skin to develop?
