I'm a bit confused about using the Carel Solution. It contains coal tar topical solution USP and salicylic acid IP in an aqueous base, and I've been told to use it like a shampoo. Could you guide me on how exactly I should be applying it? I'm not sure if I'm supposed to use it differently than regular shampoo.

View allI've had this pea-sized lump on my bikini line for almost two years now. It sometimes oozes pus, and while I've had similar ones before, they've never lasted this longusually just a week or so. This one feels hard and sometimes shrinks a lot, but then it puffs back up again. Should I be worried about it, and what could it possibly be?
It sounds like you may have a recurrent abscess in your bikini area. I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and applying it to the affected area twice a day after cleaning it with mild soap and water. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. If the lump does not improve or if you develop a fever, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and possible drainage of the abscess.

I'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.
