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 having some itching in my private area and now I've noticed these four red moles have shown up between my legs. They seem to be getting bigger as each day passes. Could you recommend any medicine or treatment for this? What might be causing it?

Taking an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine can help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
