Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Yes, sebaceous cysts can often be treated without surgery. Depending on the size, location, and whether or not the cyst is infected or causing symptoms, a doctor may recommend non-surgical options like observation, injections, or drainage

I've been diagnosed with Alopecia Areata and my doctor suggested I take methyl prednisolone tablets. Is it safe for me to also use Nervijen and Etoshine tablets? I'm dealing with some heel pain too, so I'm just a bit concerned about mixing these meds. Can you advise?

Considering your Alopecia Areata diagnosis and the prescribed methylprednisolone, it's essential to exercise caution when adding new medications. _Nervijen Tab and Etoshine Tab_ 1. _Nervijen Tab_: Typically used for anxiety and insomnia, it may interact with methylprednisolone, increasing the risk of adverse effects like dizziness, drowsiness, or stomach ulcers. 2. _Etoshine Tab_: Usually prescribed for pain relief and inflammation, it may increase the risk of stomach ulcers, bleeding, or kidney damage when combined with methylprednisolone. _Safety Concerns_ 1. _Increased risk of side effects_: Combining these medications may lead to adverse effects like stomach ulcers, bleeding, or increased blood sugar levels. 2. _Interactions with methylprednisolone_: Nervijen Tab and Etoshine Tab may interact with methylprednisolone, reducing its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.

I've had this semi-circle shaped rash for about 45 days now, and it's red and itchy when I touch it. It's right between my neck and chest, and I'm noticing it might be getting a bit drier. Is this just a common skin issue, or should I be more concerned about it?

The semi-circle shaped skin rash that is red, itchy, and situated between your neck and chest for 4-5 days may be a case of ringworm, also known as tinea corporis. To treat this, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the rash does not improve or worsens, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because my 4-month-old baby has such dry skin, even after using a moisturizer twice a day. I'm currently using Himalaya cream, but it's like his skin is still dry. There's also some peeling under his chin. A doctor recommended Desosoft cream, and we've been using it for 10 days, but nothing's changed. Could you suggest a cream or something else that might help get his skin back to normal?

I recommend trying a gentle and effective moisturizer like Cetaphil Restoraderm Eczema Calming Body Moisturizer. Apply this moisturizer twice a day on the affected areas, especially on the chin where the skin is peeling. Additionally, make sure to keep your baby well-hydrated by giving him plenty of fluids throughout the day.
