I've been dealing with these more than 50 lipomas for years now, and they're just getting bigger as time goes on. It's really starting to worry me, and I'm wondering what my options are to get rid of them. Is there anything I can do to prevent them from growing further or any treatments that can help?

.lipoma isn't cancer and usually is harmless. Treatment generally isn't necessary, but if the lipoma bothers you, is painful or is growing, you may want to have it removed.... Most lipomas are removed surgically by cutting them out...Recurrences after removal are uncommon.

View allI'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.

I'm dealing with hidradenitis suppurativa in my armpits, buttocks, sides, and pubic area. It all started when I was in Bangalore. Initially, I had these inflamed cysts under my arm that disappeared on their own, but then they reappeared and started draining. I saw a dermatologist in Bangalore for six months, but nothing really improved. I haven't sought any treatment since then, but now I'm searching for a good doctor in Delhi NCR who can help. Any advice or recommendations?
In your case, since the previous treatment did not show improvement, it is important to consult a dermatologist or a specialist in this field. In DelhiNCR, you can consider visiting a dermatologist at a reputed hospital or clinic such as AIIMS or Apollo Hospital. The doctor may prescribe medications like antibiotics (such as Clindamycin) to reduce inflammation and infection, retinoids (such as Isotretinoin) to help prevent new outbreaks, and corticosteroids for severe inflammation. In some cases, surgical intervention may be required to drain abscesses or remove affected tissue. It is important to follow the treatment plan as advised by the doctor for better management of the condition.
