I've got this lump that started out small and wasn't really painful, but I tried using hot fermentation on it. Now, after a month, its turned red, and it's quite painful and much bigger. The skin is hard, and it's making it difficult for me to walk. Hot water seems to help with the pain a bit, but it makes the skin even redder. Can you suggest what kind of doctor I should see about this?

I'm worried about my breasts looking rather saggy lately. Is there any way to naturally lift and tighten them without going through surgery? I'm curious about any creams, oils, or other remedies that might help with this.

To improve the firmness and lift of sagging breasts without surgery, using creams or oils that contain ingredients like **retinol, peptides, or vitamin E** may help improve skin elasticity. Additionally, exercises targeting the chest muscles, such as push-ups and chest presses, can strengthen the underlying muscle, providing a natural lift over time. However, results can vary, and it's important to manage expectations.

I've got a wheatish sensitive combination skin type and I'm curious about improving my skin tone. I've tried the Dermadew Aloe lotion at night as per my dermatologist's suggestion, but I didn't really see any noticeable changes. I recently found out about Dermadew Glow cream and I'm wondering if it's safe for my skin and if it might help me achieve a clearer, more even complexion. Would love to know your thoughts!

Dermadew glo is advised, if any side-effects dermat opinion is advsed to the patient.
