I'm dealing with a keloid on my chest that has started to form pus, and it's really painful. Can you recommend any good antibacterial creams that might help with this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Pus formation in a keloid can be a sign of infection, which requires prompt attention. While I can suggest some antibacterial creams, please consult a doctor or dermatologist for proper evaluation and guidance.
Antibacterial Creams
- Neosporin: Contains neomycin and bacitracin, effective against a wide range of bacteria.

View allI've had gynecomastia in both sides of my chest for the past 4 years. A doctor in Allahabad recommended liposuction but I'm not sure about the total cost of the surgery. Can you give me an estimate? Also, is liposuction the best option for my condition or are there other treatments I should consider?
The estimated cost for gynecomastia surgery (liposuction and/or gland excision) in India can range from ‚Çπ60,000 to ‚Çπ1,50,000, depending on the specific procedure and the surgeon's expertise.

I have a ganglion cyst on my right wrist and have tried allopathy, siddha, and ayurvedic treatments with no relief. One doctor recommended surgery with a plastic surgeon due to the cyst's location, but another advised against surgery there. Is there a permanent cure for ganglion cysts, and what's the success rate of surgery in this area?
While ganglion cysts can resolve on their own or with nonsurgical treatments, surgery is an option when other methods fail or cause significant problems. The success rate of ganglion cyst surgery in the wrist, especially in areas where a plastic surgeon might be involved, is generally high, with many patients experiencing relief from pain and improved function. However, recurrence is possible, and nerve or tendon injury is a rare complication

My lower lip is noticeably bigger than my upper lip, especially on the left side where it seems to droop down more. I also have some facial asymmetry my left side looks slightly bigger and looser compared to the right, which feels tighter. The tissue on the left side seems less firm, affecting my cheek and lip. Would lower lip reduction surgery help correct this? I'd like to understand more about the procedure and if it's the right option for me. Can we set up a video call to discuss this further? I'm based in Pune.
Lower lip reduction surgery can help address asymmetry, but facial analysis by a plastic surgeon is essential. They can assess muscle tone and tissue balance. You’d need to consult locally in Pune; video consultations are offered by many clinics.
