I've had this cyst on my left cheek for about a month now and I can't seem to squeeze it out. It's really bothering me and I'm worried about it getting worse. What kind of surgery would be best to remove it properly? Will there be any scarring?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For proper cyst removal, surgical excision is generally the most effective and recommended approach. This involves removing the entire cyst, including its wall, which can help prevent recurrence. While some scarring is likely, modern techniques and proper aftercare can help minimize its appearance.

View allIve been really struggling with sun tanning on my hands and neck. Theyve gotten quite dark lately, and Id really love to get my hands and face to match in color since my face is still quite bright. I'm looking for affordable home-based treatments that can help even out my skin tone. Could you please give me some advice?
To reduce sun tanning on your hands and neck, you can try using a mixture of lemon juice and honey. Apply this mixture on the affected areas and leave it on for about 20 minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water. You can do this daily until you see improvement. Additionally, using aloe vera gel on the tanned areas can also help in lightening the skin. Remember to apply sunscreen with a high SPF before going out in the sun to prevent further tanning.

Is it safe to use Mintio minoxidil solution on my transplanted hair now that it's been 12 days post-surgery? I was using it a month before the transplant to save my thinning hair and wondering if I can continue applying it to both the transplanted area and my existing hair
Yes, it's generally safe to use Mintop minoxidil solution on your transplanted hair 12 days post-surgery and continue using it on your existing hair. Most doctors recommend waiting a few days after the procedure to avoid irritation, but 12 days is generally sufficient. Applying minoxidil can help stimulate hair growth, prevent shedding, and potentially expedite recovery of the transplant

Im considering getting hair PRP and I'm a bit nervous about the whole process. Could you share the latest procedures for this treatment? Also, what type of anesthesia will you be using?
For hair PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment, the latest procedure involves extracting a small amount of blood from your arm, processing it to separate the platelet-rich plasma, and then injecting it into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. The type of anesthesia commonly used for this procedure is local anesthesia, which is applied to the scalp to minimize any discomfort during the injections. The brand name of the local anesthesia that can be used for this procedure is Lidocaine. The dosage and concentration of Lidocaine will depend on the specific protocol followed by your healthcare provider, but it is typically administered in small amounts to the scalp before the PRP injections. Remember to discuss any concerns or questions about the procedure with your healthcare provider before undergoing the treatment.
