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 accidentally got some dettol on my forehead today, and now I've got this dark mark. It doesnt hurt or anything, but it just looks terrible. I'm already getting treatment for pimples, but my doctor is out of town. Can you tell me how long it might take for this mark to heal?

You can apply an antibiotic ointment like Silverex cream twice a day to prevent infection. Additionally, you can use a scar removal gel like Contractubex to help reduce the appearance of the dark mark. It usually takes about 1-2 weeks for minor burns to heal, but the dark mark may take longer to fade. Make sure to protect the area from sun exposure to prevent further darkening of the mark.
