I've had these fat glands on my body since childhood and they keep increasing over time. They don't hurt but I really want to get rid of them. A doctor told me it's hereditary and harmless but I'm still bothered by them. Are there any medicines that can dissolve them or will I need surgery to remove them

Lipomas, which are benign fatty growths under the skin, are typically harmless and don't require treatment unless they cause discomfort or bother you cosmetically. While there are no medications to dissolve them, surgical removal is an option if you wish to get rid of them

I've noticed that the skin on my thighs has gotten darker, especially around the buttocks area, and there are these itchy ring-like spots. I was on antibiotics for a jock itch for ten days as my physician advised, but it seems to have come back. I'm now using an antifungal powder from Cipla, but it's not really helping. Could you advise me on what steps I should take next?

I've been using Betnovate N cream on and off for about 10 years, and now I've got these dark spots on my cheeks near my nose. I'm seeing a dermatologist who told me to use Azelaic acid cream 20 at night for just 30 minutes and Dermadew Glow cream during the day. It's almost been a month and I don't really see any improvement. I'm really stressed about these spots. What do you think about this treatment?

Prolonged usage betnovate cream would have made your skin sensitive,and lead for hyperpigmention,it takes time to heal have patience and follow your doctors advice.
