I've got a bunch of sebaceous cysts on my scrotum, like six of them. I'm thinking of getting them surgically removed. What kind of risks should I be aware of? Also, any idea on how much it might cost to get this done in Bangalore? If you know of any good doctors or hospitals I should consider, I'd really appreciate the suggestions!

I'm so sorry to hear you're dealing with multiple sebaceous cysts on your scrotum. Getting them removed via surgery is a great step, but it's essential to be aware of the potential risks involved.

Risks associated with sebaceous cyst removal surgery:

Infection

Scarring

Temporary numbness or tenderness

Recurrence of the cyst

As for the surgery cost in Bangalore, it can range from 20,000 to 40,000, with an average cost of 35,000. The cost may vary depending on factors such as the size and number of cysts, the location of the cysts, the method of removal, and the hospital or clinic you choose.

I've been noticing these black dots on my chest and stomach for the past couple of months. They're not painful or itchy, but I'm curious and a bit worried about what they might be. I usually sleep without a shirt, so I'm wondering if that might be related. Could you help me understand what these might be and why they've appeared?

I've got these yellow nails that are really painful, and I'm not sure who I should see about it. My fingernails are turning yellow, and it's worrying me. Any idea which doctor is best to consult for something like this?

Yellow nails can be a sign of a fungal infection or other underlying health issues. You can start by using an over-the-counter antifungal nail cream like Lamisil cream twice a day on the affected nails. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine. Make sure to keep your nails clean and dry, and avoid wearing nail polish until the condition improves. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you should consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
