I've got multiple lipomas all over my body and I'm wondering if there's a way to remove them without major surgery or if there are any other treatment options that might work better for me

For lipomas, several treatment options beyond major surgery exist, including steroid injections, liposuction, and minimal excision. Steroid injections can help shrink lipomas, especially smaller ones, by breaking down fat cells. Liposuction can remove lipomas, particularly in areas where scarring is undesirable. Minimal excision is a surgical technique that can reduce scarring.

Question

I'm worried about the possibility of having sex with my husband while he's still being treated for scabies. He's only put on the cream twice, and we're noticing his skin starting to dry up in those spots. Is it okay for us to be intimate now, or should we wait a bit longer?

Question

I've had issues before with redness and sores on my penis, and during the lockdown, one dermatologist said it was genital herpes. He prescribed Acyclovir, but it didn't work, so I saw another dermatologist in person. She diagnosed it as a secondary bacterial infection and balanoposthitis, which cleared up after treatment. Out of curiosity, I got IgM and IgG blood tests for HSV 1 and 2, plus other STD tests, and everything came back negative. I repeated the tests after three months and they were still negative. Now, this year, I've noticed redness and a sore again. Should I be worried that it's herpes, or is it likely to be something else?

Question

I'm really worried about this redness and rash under my private parts. It all started around two months ago, and initially, it was just itching. But, within two weeks, it turned red and spread quickly. I've been trying various creams and dusting powders, but nothing seems to help, and the problem's still here. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
