I've noticed several lipomas on my body ranging from small to medium size and I'm not keen on surgery are there any effective alternative treatments I could explore for managing or reducing them
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
No proven non-surgical cure exists for lipomas; surgery is the only definitive treatment.

View allI have several sebaceous cysts on my scrotum and want to know if there are non-surgical treatment options. Would homeopathy work for this, or should I see an allopathic doctor? If so, which specialist is best a urologist or dermatologist?
Sebaceous cysts on the scrotum are usually benign and may not require treatment unless they become painful or infected. Non-surgical options are limited, and homeopathy lacks strong evidence for effectiveness. It’s best to consult a dermatologist first, as they specialize in skin conditions and can guide you on management or refer to a urologist if needed.

I'm noticing some black spots under my armpits lately and I'm not sure what's causing them. Could this be some kind of allergic reaction? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance. What do you think it could be?
These black spots could be due to a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with insulin resistance or diabetes. I recommend using a cream containing hydroquinone and tretinoin, such as Melalite Forte cream, applied once daily at night. Additionally, maintaining good blood sugar control through diet and exercise can also help improve these spots.
