I have a pyogenic granuloma on my scalp and I'm a bit worried. Is it harmful if I just leave it alone? Could this be some kind of cancer? Also, are there any treatments I can try at home without needing surgery?

A pyogenic granuloma on your scalp is a benign, non-cancerous growth of blood vessels. While it's not harmful on its own, it's advisable to consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, especially if it's bleeding or causing cosmetic concerns. Home treatments are generally not recommended, but there are some medical options

View allI'm really worried about this persistent ringworm I've been dealing with lately. I've heard about creams for fungal infections that don't contain steroids, but I'm not sure which ones are effective. Can you recommend any good steroid-free creams that might help clear this up?
That looks like fungal infection which needs oral and topical antifungal medication and personal hygiene is the main stay, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.

Can I take Perfectil vitamins if I mostly just get the occasional pimple but have really dark eyelids and circles under my eyes? My hair has been thinning as well, and I'm 25. I'm worried because it has 10 mg of biotin. Is that okay to take?
No use. The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated.
