Question 1

So, I recently got a shave at the barber's, and there was a pimple near my moustache. The razor blade nicked it, and I was bleeding a bit. I saw the barber change the blade, so I'm pretty sure it was new, but I'm still worried. Is there any risk of HIV from this? Could you help me figure out if I should be concerned?

Accepted Answer

no

Question 2

I've got a bunch of sebaceous cysts on my scrotum, like six of them. I'm thinking of getting them surgically removed. What kind of risks should I be aware of? Also, any idea on how much it might cost to get this done in Bangalore? If you know of any good doctors or hospitals I should consider, I'd really appreciate the suggestions!

Accepted Answer

I'm so sorry to hear you're dealing with multiple sebaceous cysts on your scrotum. Getting them removed via surgery is a great step, but it's essential to be aware of the potential risks involved.

Risks associated with sebaceous cyst removal surgery:

- Infection
- Scarring
- Temporary numbness or tenderness
- Recurrence of the cyst

As for the surgery cost in Bangalore, it can range from 20,000 to 40,000, with an average cost of 35,000.  The cost may vary depending on factors such as the size and number of cysts, the location of the cysts, the method of removal, and the hospital or clinic you choose.

Question 3

I've been dealing with lichen planus, which appeared on my foot a couple of years ago. Back then, Allegra 180 mg and Halox S ointment worked for me, but now it's flared up on my hands and face. I'm really worriedespecially since it's on my face. Is there any advanced treatment or maybe even surgery that could offer a permanent solution? Also, are there any lifestyle changes I should consider? It's starting to stress out not just me but my whole family. Could really use some advice here.

Accepted Answer

Lichen planus can be challenging to treat, but there are options available. For the recurrence on your hands and face, you can try using Tacrolimus ointment along with Allegra 180 mg tablets. Tacrolimus ointment can help reduce inflammation and itching on the affected areas. Additionally, you can continue using Halox s ointment for relief. There is no high-end treatment like surgery to permanently cure lichen planus, but lifestyle changes can help manage the condition. Avoiding triggers such as stress, certain medications, and allergens can help prevent flare-ups.

I'm dealing with these boils that are filled with pus, and they keep coming back. I tried antibiotics to prevent them from returning, but it didn't work. What could be causing this recurring issue, and is there anything else I should consider doing to get rid of them for good?
