I'm currently taking Kerablak tablets and using Kera XL serum as my doctor recommended. Just wondering if you think these will actually help me. Any thoughts on their effectiveness?

View allI've noticed a new white patch on my neck below the chin, and it's quite visible after I shave. I've always had some skin discoloration on my chest and neck since birth, but this patch is new. I saw a doctor who gave me a cleanser and gel to use, and they also prescribed a single dose of Dicaris 150 mg. I'm a bit concerned about what this medication is for and how serious my skin issue might be. Could you help me understand?
Dicaris (Ivermectin) is an antiparasitic medication. _Possible Reasons for Dicaris Prescription_ 1. _Scabies or mites_: Ivermectin is commonly used to treat scabies, mites, or other parasitic infections that can cause skin discoloration. 2. _Fungal or bacterial infections_: Although less common, ivermectin may be prescribed off-label for certain fungal or bacterial infections. _Possible Causes of Skin Discoloration_ 1. _Pityriasis versicolor_: A fungal infection that causes skin discoloration. 2. _Vitiligo_: An autoimmune condition that causes white patches on the skin. 3. _Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)_: Skin darkening or discoloration after inflammation or injury. _Seriousness of Skin Discoloration_ 1. _Most cases are benign_: Skin discoloration is often not a cause for concern. 2. _Monitor for changes_: Keep an eye on the patch for any changes in size, shape, color, or texture.

I've got these lumps under my skin, which I've learned are called lipomas. They're not painful, but I'm curious if there's any treatment or medication out there that could get rid of them. The doctors Ive spoken to say they're harmless and don't require medicine, but I'm still a bit concerned. Could you give me some advice on this?
While there's no oral medication to cure lipoma, treatment options like steroid injections, liposuction, or surgical removal can be considered
