While surgery is the most effective way to remove lipomas, several non-surgical options can be considered, particularly for shrinking or managing lipomas that are not causing significant issues. These include steroid injections, fat-dissolving injections (lipolysis), laser therapy, and sometimes even natural remedies

Could you tell me whether I should consult a dermatologist or an eye specialist for treating Xanthelasma? I'm also looking for recommendations on the best doctor in Kolkata for this condition. Any advice would be appreciated!

Xanthelasma is a skin condition that appears on the eyelids and is usually treated by a dermatologist. In some cases, an ophthalmologist may also be involved, especially if the xanthelasma is affecting the eye itself.

I'm experiencing some itching inside my penis, right from where it begins. It's really uncomfortable and makes me want to masturbate just to get some relief, but the itch doesn't go away. There's no burning when I pee, just this persistent itch. What could be causing this, and how can I make it stop?

This itching sensation inside the penis could be due to a fungal infection. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area twice a day for about 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg as a single dose. Make sure to maintain good hygiene and avoid any irritants that may worsen the itching. If the symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Can I wash my hair daily with water only?

Yes, there is no harm in washing hair daily with plain treated water but prefer cold water. You need to check for excess chlorine or bleach in water which may cause dryness and split ends on repeated exposure.
