I 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'm worried about using Melaglow cream every day. Can it damage my skin if used regularly? If its not safe, would switching to Fairlite be a better option?

Using Melaglow cream regularly is generally safe for most individuals. It is commonly used to treat hyperpigmentation and dark spots on the skin. However, it is important to follow the recommended dosage and application instructions provided by your healthcare provider or mentioned on the packaging. If you experience any irritation, redness, or other adverse effects while using Melaglow cream, you should discontinue use and consult with a healthcare professional. Fairlite cream can be used as an alternative to Melaglow if you experience any negative reactions to Melaglow. Fairlite also helps in treating hyperpigmentation and dark spots. The recommended dosage and application instructions for Fairlite may vary, so it is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before using it.

I've got these small itchy bumps in my pubic area that keep spreading and look really bad. They don't cause major issues besides the itching, but I'm worried about how they're multiplying. Could you recommend any creams or meds to make them fade or go away? I'd prefer not to do surgery right now.

Itchy, spreading bumps in the pubic area could be due to various reasons, ranging from simple skin irritations to infections. While you can try some over-the-counter treatments, it's best to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, especially if the bumps are spreading or cause significant discomfort.

My 3.5-year-old daughter has flaky dandruff and an itchy scalp. I've tried using lemon and vinegar, but nothing seems to be helping. Do you think Candid B lotion would be a good option for her? Would love any advice you might have.

For your daughter's flaky dandruff and itchy scalp, you can try using Nizoral shampoo. It contains ketoconazole which is effective against dandruff and scalp itching. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks. If the symptoms persist, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
