I'm dealing with an old cut scar on my left hand, and I'm really interested in figuring out how to remove it permanently. It's been there for 67 years and happened due to a cutter. Could you advise me on the best way to get rid of it?

View allI've been dealing with ringworm for about 4 years, and nothing seemed to work until someone told me to try derobin ointment. It cleared up the ringworm on my hand, so I also applied it to my neck and throat area. But now things have gotten worsemy skin is peeling and doesn't seem to be healing. I'm really worried. What should I do?
It sounds like you may have developed a reaction to the derobin ointment when applied to your neck and throat. I recommend stopping the ointment immediately and washing the affected areas with mild soap and water. You can apply a soothing and healing ointment like Silverex cream to help with the healing process. Additionally, taking an antihistamine like Cetirizine can help with any itching or discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm just wondering if drinking a lot of caffeine could cause lipomas or encourage them to grow. I usually have black coffee twice a day. Should I be concerned about this?
Drinking excessive caffeine or black coffee is not directly linked to causing lipomas or helping them grow. Lipomas are benign tumors composed of body fat, and their exact cause is unknown. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise is important. If the lipomas are causing any discomfort or concern, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned because I was prescribed the fas 3 kit for a suspected fungal infection and followed the instructions, but after feeling better on day 2, the discomfort and burning sensation came back on day 3. The doctor said to check back after a week if things didn't improve, but I'm not sure if I should wait that long. Should I go for another consultation now, or give it a week like the doctor suggested?
It's normal to experience some fluctuation in symptoms during treatment. Since youre still feeling discomfort and burning, it's a good idea to consult your doctor sooner rather than waiting a week, especially if the symptoms arent improving. They may adjust your treatment plan for better relief.
