I want to remove a facial mole but every doctor says there will be a scar the same size as the mole whether it's laser or surgery I really don't want a big scar on my face what are my options here's a pic of the mole

Kindly meet a Dermatologist to assess if there are other moles elsewhere in your skin.The other thing to remember is you may reconsider removal if you have given anyone of these moles as identify proof somewhere like on a passport or driving license. You can still get it removed but then you need to carry the medical certificate stating the details of the procedure. Laser and excision are two options with their independent merit and demerits. There will be any scar but a stitch line that will faint away with time and some treatment.

View allSo, I've been dealing with a fungal skin infection and tried using KZ soap for about three weeks. I stopped using it, and now, just a week later, the infection is back. I'm 27 and a bit worried. What should I do next?
-It seems the fungal infection wasn't fully cleared. I recommend visiting a doctor for a proper antifungal treatment plan. You might need a longer course or a different medication to fully resolve the issue.

I've started noticing some white patches on my hip area and they're a bit irritated. I'm worried it might be some kind of fungal infection, but the rest of my body seems fine, no allergy or anything. Also, I'm concerned about preventing any darkening in that area. Could you give me some advice on what might be causing this and how to deal with it?
Based on your description of white patches with slight irritation on your hip area, it does sound like a fungal infection, such as Tinea versicolor. To treat this, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area twice a day for about 2-4 weeks. Additionally, to prevent darkening of the hip area, it's important to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid excessive sweating. You can also use a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone under the guidance of a dermatologist to help with any darkening that may occur. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment.

I'm an MBBS doctor dealing with acne vulgaris grade 2, and after trying minoz 40mg for 10 days with topical adaplene gel, I still haven't seen any improvement. I'm wondering what I should try next. Do you think Tretinoin would be necessary, and what would the dose be? I've noticed it gets worse pre-menstrually. Any advice?
For acne vulgaris get a complete course of antibiotic and yes isotretinoin would help you ,visit dermatologist for appropriate management
