I'm really struggling with this skin issue that's been bothering me since I was thirteen. I have this mole that's the same color as my skin, which I tried treating with baking soda, but that was too awkward to keep up with, so I just covered it with a bandage. Eventually, it fell off, but now there's another oneit's bigger and swollen, around 2 cm on my jaw. I've been trying homeopathic medicine which seems to be helping a bit with the swelling, but it's still there. A doctor suggested laser treatment, but I'm really scared of that. I've been using coconut oil as a home remedy, but I'm concerned about the scar it might leave. Could you advise on any natural treatment options that might help with both the mole and its scar?

I would recommend using a topical cream containing hydroquinone to help lighten the scar left by the mole. You can apply it twice a day for several weeks to see improvement. Additionally, you can try using silicone gel sheets to help flatten and fade the scar. As for the mole itself, since it has reduced in size with homeopathic treatment, you can continue applying coconut oil regularly to see if it further helps in reducing it. If you want to explore other options, you can consider consulting a dermatologist who may suggest other topical treatments or procedures like cryotherapy to remove the mole.

I recently found out that the black spots on my scrotum are called angiokeratoma. I'm worried if these could lead to something like Fabry disease? I heard that laser treatment is recommended to remove them, but Im nervous about any future sexual complications this might cause. Also, I've noticed that these spots seem less noticeable during the day and get a bit more visible at night. If I do decide on laser treatment, Im curious if they might come back again. Is there any other way to remove them, like using creams maybe?
No need to worry get them removed through laser treatment as it ist bes t option and follow your doctors advice

I've been dealing with scalp itching for a while and have been taking Minoz 100 tablets to help with it. It's frustrating because whenever I stop taking the medicine, the itching comes back after a few days. I'm worried about having to rely on these tablets forever. Is there a way to stop taking them and still manage the itching? Any advice would be appreciated.
t's great that you're looking to explore alternatives to long-term medication. Minoz 100 tablets and scalp itching: Minoz 100 tablets contain minocycline, an antibiotic commonly used to treat various skin conditions, including acne and rosacea. While it may help alleviate scalp itching, it's essential to address the underlying cause of the itching. Why itching returns after stopping the medication: The itching may return after stopping the medication due to: 1. Underlying condition: The root cause of the itching, such as dandruff, eczema, or psoriasis, may still be present. 2. Dependence on the medication: Your body may have become accustomed to the medication, leading to a rebound effect when it's stopped. 3. Hormonal or environmental factors: Hormonal fluctuations, stress, or environmental changes can trigger itching.
