I've had a greenish lump under the skin on the left side of my chest for 34 years. It doesn't hurt but has a nucleus, and lately I feel like it's gotten bigger. Could this be something serious and which specialist should I see? Would I need surgery to remove it?

View allI've noticed a new white patch on my neck below the chin, and it's quite visible after I shave. I've always had some skin discoloration on my chest and neck since birth, but this patch is new. I saw a doctor who gave me a cleanser and gel to use, and they also prescribed a single dose of Dicaris 150 mg. I'm a bit concerned about what this medication is for and how serious my skin issue might be. Could you help me understand?
Dicaris (Ivermectin) is an antiparasitic medication. _Possible Reasons for Dicaris Prescription_ 1. _Scabies or mites_: Ivermectin is commonly used to treat scabies, mites, or other parasitic infections that can cause skin discoloration. 2. _Fungal or bacterial infections_: Although less common, ivermectin may be prescribed off-label for certain fungal or bacterial infections. _Possible Causes of Skin Discoloration_ 1. _Pityriasis versicolor_: A fungal infection that causes skin discoloration. 2. _Vitiligo_: An autoimmune condition that causes white patches on the skin. 3. _Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)_: Skin darkening or discoloration after inflammation or injury. _Seriousness of Skin Discoloration_ 1. _Most cases are benign_: Skin discoloration is often not a cause for concern. 2. _Monitor for changes_: Keep an eye on the patch for any changes in size, shape, color, or texture.

I'm dealing with chicken pox but so far, I haven't got a fever. I'm really hoping to recover before March 8th. Could you suggest some ways to speed up the healing process for me?

I've been prescribed Keraglo AD antidandruff shampoo, Keraglo XL serum, and Keraglo Men tablets for my hair fall problem, but I'm a bit hesitant and have a few questions. I plan on just using the shampoo and tablets for now, but should I consider using the serum too? Also, I'm curious if there are any side effects I should be aware of with these products. The shampoo has ingredients like Aloe Vera, D-Panthenol, Ichthyol Pale, and Ketoconazole. The serum has Biochanin A, Tetrapeptide-3, and Acetyl Kera XL, with almond oil and Vitamin E. For the tablets, they contain Biotin, Calcium Pantothenate, Elemental Copper, Elemental Selenium, Elemental Zinc, and N-Acetyl L-Cysteine. Any advice would be really appreciated!
