I've got these lumps under my skin, which I've learned are called lipomas. They're not painful, but I'm curious if there's any treatment or medication out there that could get rid of them. The doctors Ive spoken to say they're harmless and don't require medicine, but I'm still a bit concerned. Could you give me some advice on this?

While there's no oral medication to cure lipoma, treatment options like steroid injections, liposuction, or surgical removal can be considered

I've been using Cosmolite cream for the past three years, but I've noticed that since I've stopped, the skin around my mouth and eyes has turned darker. I'm pretty worried about this change. Could you give me some advice on how to get my natural skin tone back in those areas? Any suggestions or treatments you could recommend would be really appreciated.

The darkening of skin around your mouth and eyes after stopping Cosmolite cream suggests rebound hyperpigmentation or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH); to recover, try: applying sunscreen with SPF 30+ daily, using topical creams containing niacinamide, vitamin C, or kojic acid, and exfoliating gently with alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs); consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance and potential prescription-strength treatments.

I'm noticing these flat red spots on my hands, arms, and feet for the past month. They don't itch or hurt, but I'm a bit worried about what they could be. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

These red spots could be a sign of a condition called petechiae, which are small, flat red spots that appear on the skin due to bleeding under the skin. It is important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, you can take Vitamin C supplements to help strengthen your blood vessels.
