I've got multiple lipomas on my hand and thighs, and every doctor I've seen says surgery is the only option. I'm really concerned about scarring since I work in the entertainment industry. Are there any non-surgical treatments that could help shrink or remove them without leaving noticeable marks?

While surgical lipoma removal is often recommended, non-surgical treatments can be considered, particularly for smaller lipomas or those where you want to minimize scarring. Steroid injections, liposuction, and mesotherapy are some options to explore. Liposuction is not considered a non-surgical option as it involves an incision, but it is a less invasive alternative to full surgical removal.

How should I apply CANDID TV SUSPENSION for these small white patches on my face? The dermatologist said it's tinea versicolor. I'm a bit concerned about using it on facial skin. Is there anything specific I need to do or watch out for?

I've been using Trichoton Forte and it initially helped with my hair fall, but lately, it seems to be back again. I'm also oiling my hair three times a week, but nothing seems to be working long-term. What else can I try to stop the hair fall, or should I be worried about something else going on with my hair?
