View allI'm dealing with multiple lipomas on both of my hands. I've spoken to dermatologists at APOLLO Hospital in Chennai and Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, and they advised me to just ignore them since they won't cause harm now or in the future. But honestly, I'm still quite worried, especially since they're growing in number and size. I'm a vegetarian, I don't drink or smoke, so I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to treat or manage these lipomas. Could you help me understand what my options might be?
Lipomas are usually harmless, but if they are increasing in number and causing concern, there are medications that can help reduce their size or prevent new ones from forming. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication.

Could you help me figure out how to lighten the skin between my thighs? It's gotten darker, maybe from friction or wearing tight jeans. Also, near the scrotum, the skin is darker because I had ringworm there as a child. What can I do about this?

I'm thinking about using a derma roller for my face, but I'm not entirely sure how to properly sanitize it. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Dettol or Savlon to clean it. Could you walk me through the sanitizing process? I'm a bit worried about making sure it's safe to use on my skin.
While Dettol or Savlon can be used to sanitize a derma roller, a more recommended approach is to soak the derma roller in a mixture of 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or ethanol for 5-10 minutes, then rinse with sterile or distilled water, and let air-dry; this method is gentler on the needles and more effective against bacteria and other microorganisms.
