I've been using Melacare cream for about 3 years now, and I'm starting to notice my skin is becoming really red and I feel this burning sensation. I'm really worried and seriously considering stopping the use of this cream. Can you suggest any measures I should take?

I've got these warts on my neck that just keep popping up more and more. I tried homeopathy for like six months and even went through laser treatment for half a year, but nothing seems to work. I'm currently on 50mg of zinkolac daily and taking vermisol twice a week. Do you think this is gonna help at all? I'm really worried and would love some advice on what to do next.

My son has a mole on his head that keeps getting bigger. Is there any treatment for this other than surgery? I'm a bit worried about it growing so fast.

While surgical removal is the primary treatment for a mole that is changing or causing concern, it's not always the only option. If the mole is benign (not cancerous) and you're concerned about its appearance, a dermatologist may suggest alternative treatments, such as watchful waiting or cosmetic removal.

My face is also affectedthere are small holes and black marks, and since I have a darker complexion, they stand out and look terrible. It's tough because people make fun of me for it. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?
