I've got a kiss mark on my neck and I'm worried about how to get rid of it. It's just blood that's clotted and left a mark, but it doesn't hurt. Any ideas on what I can do to make it disappear faster?

To remove the mark from the kiss mark on your neck, you can apply a cold compress to reduce any swelling and help with the clotting. You can also apply a topical arnica cream to help with bruising. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen can help with any discomfort. If the mark persists or if you have any concerns, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

Is it possible to remove sentinel skin tags without surgery and how long does the recovery usually take if they're removed non-surgically

Yes, sentinel skin tags (also called sentinel piles) can be removed without surgery using methods like cryotherapy, burning, or freezing, or by tying a piece of dental floss or fine cotton around the base of the skin tag. The recovery time for non-surgical removal is usually a few weeks, with the tag dropping off after freezing or burning.

I'm currently seeing a dermatologist near my home for dandruff issues and she has good reviews. She's a female doctor. I also need advice on anal tags after my laser piles surgery and want to get an STD checkup. Can she handle these issues too or should I see another specialist?

A dermatologist can address skin tags and offer STD testing, but a proctologist may be better for post-surgical anal concerns.
