I've got these lumps under my skin, which I've learned are called lipomas. They're not painful, but I'm curious if there's any treatment or medication out there that could get rid of them. The doctors Ive spoken to say they're harmless and don't require medicine, but I'm still a bit concerned. Could you give me some advice on this?

While there's no oral medication to cure lipoma, treatment options like steroid injections, liposuction, or surgical removal can be considered

I've been using Tretinoin cream for about a month now to tackle my hyperpigmentation, but instead of seeing improvements, my face and neck are getting darker. I'm really concerned and wondering if this increased darkness is normal and will eventually go away on its own. Could you share some insights on what might be happening?

Yes,Continue same treatment.
