My 6-month-old baby has a strawberry mole will it go away on its own or does it need surgery to be removed? I'm worried about whether it's something serious or if it'll fade over time

View allI've had a sebaceous cyst on my scrotum for about 3 years now and really want to avoid surgery. Are there any other ways to treat it or make it go away naturally?
Occasionally, small scrotal sebaceous cysts may go away on their own. The use of a warm compress a couple of times a day can help reduce the size of the cyst or swelling by encouraging the cyst to drain or reabsorb into the body. However, larger cysts are unlikely to go away without surgical treatment.

I've had these black spots around my stomach for quite some time, probably around 23 months now. Initially, I thought they'd just fade away if I ignored them, but they're still there. There are about 8 of them, and they didn't start as pimples or anythingthey just appeared as black spots. Should I be worried about this or is there something that can help get rid of them?
Possible Causes 1. Melasma: Hormonal changes or sun exposure can cause melanin deposits, leading to black spots. 2. Hyper-pigmentation: Inflammation or skin injuries can cause an increase in melanin production, resulting in dark spots. 3. Skin tags: Small, benign growths can appear as black spots. 4. Seborrheic keratoses: Benign growths that can appear as black spots, especially in areas with high sun exposure. 5. Dermatosis papulosa nigra: A benign condition characterized by dark, raised spots. What to Do 1. Consult a dermatologist: Get a professional diagnosis to determine the cause of the black spots. 2. Skin examination: A dermatologist will examine your skin to determine the underlying cause. 3. Treatment options: Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options may include topical creams, laser therapy, or removal of skin tags or growths. Self-Care 1. Protect your skin from the sun: Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to prevent further darkening of the spots. 2. Maintain good skin hygiene: Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.

I'm really concerned after using Faiza cream for about 3 months. It cleared up all my pimples and black marks, and my skin got so fair. But now I've read online about possible side effects, like skin cancer. I'm really worried and thinking about stopping the cream. If I do, will there be any side effects or problems? Can you give me some advice on what to do?
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
