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.

Are folliculitis and Pityriasis Versicolor contagious? I've got a 7-month-old baby, and I'm worried about whether there's a risk of it spreading to him when I hold him. Could you help clarify this concern?
As a parent, it's natural to worry about your baby's health. Pityrosporum Folliculitis (P. Folliculitis) and Pityriasis Versicolor (P. Versicolor): Both conditions are caused by the overgrowth of a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia. This fungus is naturally present on human skin and can cause problems when it grows excessively.Neither P. Folliculitis nor P. Versicolor is highly contagious. The fungus that causes these conditions is already present on human skin, and overgrowth is often triggered by individual factors, such as: 1. Hormonal changes 2. Stress 3. Genetics 4. Environmental factors (e.g., humidity, temperature) Risk of transmission to your baby: The risk of transmitting P. Folliculitis or P. Versicolor to your 7-month-old baby is low. However, it's essential to take precautions:

Im not sure what to do next, do you have any suggestions?
