My mom has developed some extra skin growth on her finger I've attached a photo. I'm thinking surgery might be needed but I'm not sure which type of doctor to see in Bangalore. Can you suggest a specialist or hospital for this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a skin growth on a finger, a dermatologist is the best specialist to consult in Bangalore. They can accurately diagnose the growth, determine if it's a skin tag (a common, benign growth), or if further investigation (like a biopsy) is needed. If removal is necessary, a dermatologist can perform it in a safe and efficient manner.

I've developed some rashes on my hips that resemble an infection and they're really itchy. I tried using itch guard but it didn't help. I'm quite concerned about it. Could you please advise me on what to do next?
Sounds like you may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare provider.

I'm thinking about stopping my glutathione tablets, but I'm worried my skin might return to how it looked before I started taking them. Will the effects stick around if I stop, or do I need to continue these tablets forever? Also, are there any side effects I should be aware of?
If you stop taking glutathione tablets, the effects on your skin may gradually diminish and return to how it was before taking the tablets. It is not necessary to take the tablets for a lifetime to maintain the effects. As for side effects, some individuals may experience side effects such as stomach upset or allergic reactions. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring.
