I've been dealing with a boil on my upper lip, and after getting treatment, it seemed to drain on its own within a week. However, there's still a small hard lump left on my lip, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you tell me if there's a way to completely get rid of it?

I've been dealing with lipomas all over my body and tried homeopathy for two years without any improvement. Is there a permanent treatment option that doesn't involve surgery or side effects? Can you suggest what might work for me?

I've always had these dark patches on both sides of my scrotum, but the one on the left is bigger. I thought maybe it was because of sweat since I usually sleep on my left side. Recently, though, I've not been bathing as regularly, and with the summer heat, I've been sweating a lot around my groin area. Now those dark patches have spread to my thighs and maybe under the scrotum too, and they're itching really badly. Could this be jock itch? When I wash it, the skin looks a bit red, but it's mostly dark and has a different texture. I've got a couple of concerns. Can tinea cruris get this bad so suddenly? Like, I didnt have any itching a few days ago, and now its spreading super fast. And what about those dark patches from before? Were they just because of sweat, or was it something else? How long do you think it will take to heal if I use over-the-counter clotrimazole?

Probable diagnosis is fungal infection , candid cream for local application, once daily for 2 weeks is advised, also tab levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime for 7 days is advised, if any allergic reactions dermat opinion is advised.

I'm naturally a wheatish skin tone and I'm looking for some good advice on a skin lightening cream that could give me noticeable results. I'm really curious and a bit concerned about finding something that actually works for my skin. Could you suggest something that might be effective?

I recommend using "Meladerm Skin Lightening Cream" for your skin lightening treatment. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected areas twice a day, in the morning and evening, for best results.
