I've been dealing with these little red spots on my back and neck for about a week now. They were super itchy when they first appeared last Saturday but arent itching anymore. However, they havent gone away, and I havent taken any medication. I'm really unsure about whats going on or what I should do next. Any insights?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a rash. Based on your description of red spots that were itchy initially but are now not itching, it could be a reaction to something you came into contact with or possibly a viral rash. To help with the rash, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with any remaining itchiness. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help with any discomfort. If the rash persists or worsens, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with multiple lipomas on both of my hands. I've spoken to dermatologists at APOLLO Hospital in Chennai and Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, and they advised me to just ignore them since they won't cause harm now or in the future. But honestly, I'm still quite worried, especially since they're growing in number and size. I'm a vegetarian, I don't drink or smoke, so I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to treat or manage these lipomas. Could you help me understand what my options might be?
Lipomas are usually harmless, but if they are increasing in number and causing concern, there are medications that can help reduce their size or prevent new ones from forming. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication.
