I'm 27 and have been dealing with a lipoma for around six years. A year ago, I found two more big ones, had surgery to remove them, but now I've noticed about 15 small ones popping up on my body. They're quite tiny at the moment. Can you give me some advice on how to get rid of them while they're still small? Also, I've just started taking homeopathy medicine a couple of days ago. I hit the gym daily - does working out make these lipomas grow more? Plus, I take whey protein. Could this be a factor?

View allI'm really curious about treating these little bumps on my lips called Fordyce granules. I've heard that tretinoin gel 0.025 might help, but I'm not sure if it's effective for this. Are there better options I should consider? I'm just looking for something that actually works.
Tretinoin gel 0.025 can be beneficial in reducing Fordyce granules on the lips to some extent. Fordyce granules are small, yellowish or white bumps on the lips caused by the abnormal presence of sebaceous glands. _Benefits of Tretinoin Gel 0.025_ 1. _Exfoliates skin_: Tretinoin helps remove dead skin cells, which can aid in reducing the appearance of Fordyce granules. 2. _Unclogs pores_: Tretinoin can help unclog pores, reducing the size and visibility of Fordyce granules. _Alternative Treatments_ If Tretinoin gel 0.025 is not effective or suitable for you, consider the following alternatives: 1. _Isotretinoin_: A stronger retinoid that can be more effective in reducing Fordyce granules. 2. _Microdermabrasion_: A non-invasive exfoliating treatment that can help reduce the appearance of Fordyce granules. 3. _Laser treatment_: Ablative or non-ablative laser treatments can help reduce the size and visibility of Fordyce granules. 4. _Chemical peels_: A solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers and help reduce the appearance of Fordyce granules.

I've been struggling with persistent dark circles for the past few years, and nothing seems to help. I've tried various dermatological creams, but they havent worked for me. I heard that homeopathy might offer an effective treatment. Can you recommend any remedies?
Elocon Cream Side Effects_ 1. _Rebound acne_: Stopping or reducing Elocon cream can lead to a severe acne flare-up. 2. _Steroid-induced acne_: Long-term use of topical corticosteroids can cause acne, especially on the face. _Current Situation_ 1. _Severe acne flare-up_: The sudden onset of numerous pimples on your chin, jawline, and lower face suggests a rebound acne reaction. 2. _Ineffective treatments_: Retin-A, antibiotic pills, and fusidin cream may not be effective in treating steroid-induced acne. _Acutret (Isotretinoin)_ 1. _Recently started_: It may take several weeks to see the effects of Acutret. 2. _Monitor progress_: Keep track of your acne and any side effects while taking Acutret.

I've been using mintop for the past 30 days and haven't noticed any side effects so far. I'm thinking about continuing it for another 3 months, but I'm a bit worried about any long-term effects. Is there anything I should be aware of when using mintop 10 foam for an extended period?
Continue all the medications as advised by the dermatologist.
