Question 1

I have a lipoma on my forehead right in the center that feels like a cyst. A few doctors said it's nothing to worry about unless it grows bigger, then surgery might be needed. Is there any other treatment option for this or do I just have to wait and see? It's been bothering me and I'm not sure what to do next.

Accepted Answer

How are lipomas treated? Most lipomas do not need to be removed unless they are painful or need formal diagnosis. Some people also have lipomas removed if they are in an obvious place and are bothered by how they look. The most common way to remove a lipoma is to cut it out surgically or use liposuction

Question 2

I'm worried about a scar on my face from when I hit the ground really hard three months ago. It seemed to lighten up before using coconut oil, but now it looks like the mark has become permanent. I'm self-conscious about it as it looks odd on my face. Are there any lotions or creams you would recommend to help with this?

Question 3

I've been using this thing called hydroquinone tretinoin baby face num.2 and my face got really red after just three days. I stopped using it, but then my skin started peeling and stayed red for a few more days. Now I've got this really bad rash on my face, which has never happened before. I've always had clear skin and never any acne on my forehead, just some tiny pimples on my cheeks. But now, these small red pimples are all over my face. How can I get my skin back to normal?

Accepted Answer

Dermat opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been having this issue with my upper lip where a dry patch appears sometimes, and there's even a little bit of fluid. It eventually dries up and goes away, but there's a bit of itching and pain at times. Could you help me understand what's going on?
