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?

I've noticed a lump near my anus for the past few days, but it's not actually on the anus. I'm pretty sure it's not a hemorrhoid because I already have internal hemorrhoids, and this feels different. What could this lump be?

Anovate cream for local application at bedtime for 7 days, tab.ciplox tz twice daily orally for 7 days and tab levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime is advised to the patient.

I'm looking for a new skincare product since I stopped using Skinlite about a month ago. Can you recommend something that helps maintain skin fairness? I'm a model, so it's really important for my career. Would appreciate any advice you could share. Thanks!

Which oil is best for hair growth?

Peppermint oil with any carrier oil like castor oil,almond oil,Argan oil promotes hair growth by increasing scalp circulation. Also, frequency of oiling the hair must be individualised according to your hair/ scalp type. Persons with oily or greasy hair/ scalp must avoid frequent oil application to hair while persons with dry hair may safely use oil for mosturizing the scalp.
