Question 1

I've noticed black spots on my ankles and I'm kinda worried. I don't see any other symptoms or problems, but some friends mentioned I should maybe see a doctor about it. Could you explain why these black spots might be appearing? And is there anything I can do to get rid of them?

Accepted Answer

Visit your Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 2

I accidentally brushed my leg against my bike's engine and the skin has turned white. It's not too painful, but I'm a little worried since it's a bit unusual. Is this something I should be concerned about, or will it heal on its own?

Accepted Answer

Minor burns from touching a bike engine can cause white discoloration. Follow these steps:

Immediate Care

1. Run cool tap water over the affected area for 10-15 minutes to reduce temperature.
2. Apply a topical antibiotic ointment (e.g., Neosporin or Bacitracin).
3. Cover with a non-stick, sterile bandage.

Aftercare

1. Keep the area clean and dry.
2. Apply ointment 2-3 times a day.
3. Monitor for signs of infection (redness, swelling, increased pain).
4. Avoid breaking blisters or scratchin

Question 3

I have several lipomas on my arms and thighs, just like my dad. Most are small, but two are about an inch in size. Is there any way to stop the smaller ones from growing and shrink the bigger ones without surgery? Could diet play a role in controlling or reducing them?

Accepted Answer

excision is advised.

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.
