I've had this white patch on the back of my shoulder for about 20 days and it's turned black after I used melanocyl ointment. It's peeling like dry skin now, and sometimes it itches, though it doesn't really hurt. The skin feels a bit sensitive. Can someone help me figure out what's going on and how to treat it?

That could be fungal infection as this needs evaluation visit Dermatologist for appropriate management,do not attempt to scratch it or squeeze it.

View allI'm really curious about how I can tell if my lipoma has completely stopped forming after I've been on homeopathic treatment. Are there specific signs I should look for, or is it something that only a doctor can confirm? I'm kinda worried because I want to make sure the treatment has actually worked and that no new growth is happening. Can you give me some guidance on what to expect or how I might notice if it's all settled down?
To confirm that your lipoma has stopped growing or forming new ones after homeopathic treatment, monitor the following: 1. Size: Measure and track the lipoma's size regularly. 2. Growth rate: Observe if the growth rate has slowed or halted. 3. New lesions: Watch for any new lipoma formations. 4. Consistency: Check if the lipoma's texture or consistency has changed. 5. Symptoms: Note any changes in symptoms like pain, tenderness, or inflammation.

I'm self-conscious about it as it looks odd on my face. Are there any lotions or creams you would recommend to help with this?
