Is it possible to remove sentinel skin tags without surgery and how long does the recovery usually take if they're removed non-surgically
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, sentinel skin tags (also called sentinel piles) can be removed without surgery using methods like cryotherapy, burning, or freezing, or by tying a piece of dental floss or fine cotton around the base of the skin tag. The recovery time for non-surgical removal is usually a few weeks, with the tag dropping off after freezing or burning.

I'm on the lookout for a cream that's good for fairness that won't come with any side effects and that I can use for the long run, especially since I have oily skin. Do you have any recommendations?
For fairness and to address oily skin in the long run, you can consider using a cream containing "Kojic acid" and "Niacinamide". One such cream is "Kojivit Plus Gel". It can be applied twice daily on the affected areas after cleansing the skin. Remember to use sunscreen during the day while using this cream.

I'm taking ivermectin for a mild scabies issue and I'm supposed to take the medication on Wednesday. But I'm also planning to drink quite a bit of alcohol on Saturday. Do you think the alcohol will affect anything with my treatment?
Ivermectin is usually well-tolerated, but consuming alcohol while taking it may increase the risk of certain side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and headache. It is generally recommended to avoid excessive alcohol consumption while on ivermectin treatment. If you do choose to drink alcohol, it is best to do so in moderation.
