My dad has a nail infection, and we were told to use Loceryl nail lacquer for it. But it seems like none of the pharmacies have it in stock right now. Could you suggest another nail lacquer that might work similarly? I'm a bit concerned about finding the right alternative for him.

I've noticed these soft, fatty lumps under the skin on my hands and legs they don't hurt but they're bothering me. Could these be lipomas? I'm open to surgery if that's the best option but wanted to check what treatments are usually recommended for this

It's possible the soft, fatty lumps you're experiencing are lipomas. These benign growths are harmless and often don't require treatment, but if they're bothersome or causing symptoms, removal options like surgical excision or liposuction are available.
