I'm trying to figure out the best way to use lacto calamine and sunscreen since I have slightly oily skin. Should I put on the lacto calamine before or after the sunscreen for better protection? I'm a bit confused about the right order and don't want to mess it up.

I'm 27 and have been dealing with a lipoma for around six years. A year ago, I found two more big ones, had surgery to remove them, but now I've noticed about 15 small ones popping up on my body. They're quite tiny at the moment. Can you give me some advice on how to get rid of them while they're still small? Also, I've just started taking homeopathy medicine a couple of days ago. I hit the gym daily - does working out make these lipomas grow more? Plus, I take whey protein. Could this be a factor?

No need to worry,thats called durcums disease and those lipomas are harmless,if they are concerning you cosmetically,visit Plastic surgeon for appropriate management
