I'm noticing these fat balls in my body, especially around my stomach, hands, and thighs. They're quite small right now, but I'm not sure what to do about them. Who should I reach out to for advice, and what kind of treatment options should I consider?

consult a general surgeon to evaluate the fat balls, likely lipomas, and discuss treatment options, which may include observation, surgical excision, or liposuction, depending on their size, location, and your overall health.

I'm wondering if Folica hair tincture actually helps increase hair density or if it just manages hair fall? I'm really hoping for a product that can boost the thickness of my hair. If it's only good for controlling hair fall, could you recommend a good hair serum that can really help with increasing hair density?

Folica hair tincture primarily helps to control hair fall. If you are looking to increase the density of your hair, I recommend using Minoxidil solution. You can apply Minoxidil solution (brand name Rogaine) directly to the scalp twice a day to promote hair growth and increase hair density.

I'm wondering if it's okay to put Deriva BPO gel just on my acne spots or scars, or should I go ahead and apply it to my whole face? I'm a bit concerned about how it might affect the rest of my skin if I use it all over. What do you recommend?

Deriva BPO gel can be applied to the full face, not just on acne or acne scars. It should be applied as a thin layer on the entire affected area once daily, preferably in the evening, after washing the face with a gentle cleanser. Remember to use sunscreen during the day as this product can increase sensitivity to sunlight.

Which is more effective for acne removal plastic surgery or laser treatment? I've been struggling with acne for a while and want to know the best option for clearer skin

Laser treatments are generally more effective for treating active acne and acne scars than plastic surgery, although both can play a role in a comprehensive treatment plan. Laser treatments can address active acne by reducing inflammation and bacteria, and they can also improve the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen production. Plastic surgery, on the other hand, is more commonly used to improve the appearance of acne scars, particularly severe ones, through procedures like excision or subcision.
