I've got these lipomas all over my body, mostly on my hands and stomach. Some of them are painful while others aren't. I've talked to a local doctor who suggested surgery, but I'm wondering if there's another treatment option I should consider. Also, should I be seeing a specialist for this?

I'm really worried about my 8-year-old daughter. She's had this white spot on her nose for about a month now. Do you think it's something I should be concerned about? Could it be a skin issue or something else?

White spot on your daughter's nose could be a fungal infection known as tinea versicolor. You can use an over-the-counter antifungal cream containing clotrimazole twice a day for 2 weeks. If it does not improve, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with a fungal infection and now I've noticed some stretch marks appearing too. It's really been bothering me and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you give me some advice on how to treat both the infection and the marks? It's been really uncomfortable and I'm worried about it.

Stretch marks happen only if you use steroid creams. You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs, groin and buttocks area. It is also called jock itch. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, dermi5, betnovate, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams.

I'm really confused about something I had oral herpes for the first time about three weeks ago, and I can't figure out how I got it. The blisters have disappeared and the skin's healed, but I'm worried about whether it's safe to have sex, oral sex, or kiss my partner now since she hasn't been infected. Can you help?

Better to refrain from seual activities until you are healed completel because that could cause cross infection to your partner
