I have several lipomas on my arms and thighs, just like my dad. Most are small, but two are about an inch in size. Is there any way to stop the smaller ones from growing and shrink the bigger ones without surgery? Could diet play a role in controlling or reducing them?

I'm pretty worried because I've had this small lump in my groin for about 6 weeks now. Initially, a general surgeon thought it was just a local infection and suggested applying follicilin, which I did for 5 weeks, but the lump didn't reduce in size. Then I saw another doctor who diagnosed it as tinea cruris fungal infection and prescribed Forcan 150 and quadriderm. He mentioned it should heal in 5 days, but it's been 5 days and there's no change. I'm concerned about why it's not healing. Do you think I need a different treatment or should I consult yet another doctor for a second opinion?

Surgeon opinion is advised.

How often should you wash your hair?

Usually twice a week but to be very precise it depends on hair type. If washing frequently you have to make sure you use a mild shampoo and dilute it with water before using.
