I'm kind of worried about my father. He's developed this swelling on the far left part of his forehead. There's no pain or redness, but it's slowly spreading towards his left eye and near his ear. Any idea what might be causing this, and which type of specialist should we consult?

My 10-year-old has a dark birthmark on their forehead that hasn't improved with treatments we've tried. Doctors suggested laser or plastic surgery, but I'm unsure what's best. Are there other options or things we should consider before going for surgery?
It's understandable to be unsure about the best course of action for your child's birthmark. Given that previous treatments haven't worked, and your doctor has suggested laser or plastic surgery, it's wise to consider all options before making a decision. While surgery can be effective, especially for certain types of birthmarks, it's important to weigh the potential benefits against the risks and consider alternatives.

I've been feeling really worried lately. A while back, while I was on vacation, I noticed some swelling under my left eye one night. I used exocin, and the swelling got better, but I started losing hair, and it's not stopping even after a month. I also got the same eye infection in the same eye again. What could be causing this hair loss and recurring infection? Is there something more serious going on? I'm really scared and would appreciate any advice.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called blepharitis, which is inflammation of the eyelids. The recurrence of the eye infection and ongoing hair loss may be related to this underlying issue. I recommend using a combination of antibiotic eye drops like Tobrex (tobramycin) and a mild steroid ointment like Tobradex (tobramycindexamethasone) for the eye infection. Additionally, you can try using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide for the hair loss. Make sure to follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions for these medications. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
