My son has a mole on his head that keeps getting bigger. Is there any treatment for this other than surgery? I'm a bit worried about it growing so fast.

While surgical removal is the primary treatment for a mole that is changing or causing concern, it's not always the only option. If the mole is benign (not cancerous) and you're concerned about its appearance, a dermatologist may suggest alternative treatments, such as watchful waiting or cosmetic removal.

I've noticed a lump near my butt, and it really hurts when I touch it, and sometimes even when I don't. It's been there for a year, and now it feels like it's spreading from one lump to two. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

IT MAY BE EXTERNAL PILLS. TABLET SIGMOFLAM TWO-TIMES A DAY AFTER LUNCH AND DINNER FOR FIVE TO SEVEN DAYS. LOCALLY APPLY XYLOCAIN GEL NEAR ANAL OPINING THAN INSIDE ANUS PROPERLY ALL AROUND BEFORE PASSING STOOL. AFTER DEFICATION AND WASH APPLY OINTMENT PROCTOCEDIL AS MENTIONED ABOVE PROPERLY. TILL SYMPTOMS DECREASE. CONSULT A GENERAL SURGEON.

I'm experiencing some dryness at the tip of my penis and I heard Candid lotion might help. Do you think this is a good solution, or is there a better medicine you would recommend?

Candid lotion is an antifungal medication, but it may not be the best choice for dryness on the penis tip. Better Alternatives for Dryness on the Penis Tip 1. Hydrocortisone cream or ointment: Over-the-counter (OTC) hydrocortisone creams or ointments can help soothe and moisturize dry skin on the penis tip. 2. Vaseline or petroleum jelly: Applying a thin layer of Vaseline or petroleum jelly can help lock in moisture and protect the skin from further dryness. 3. Cetaphil cream or moisturizer: Fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturizers like Cetaphil can help hydrate and soothe dry skin on the penis tip. 4. Urea-based creams: Urea-based creams, such as Urea cream or Carmol 40, can help moisturize and soften dry skin.

I'm curious about the safety of using EGA cream compared to Procorrect cream. Do these creams have the same ingredients, and are they both used for treating acne and aging? I'm just wondering because I've seen both recommended for these issues, and I want to make sure I'm choosing the right one. Could you shed some light on this?

You can use either,better to visit Dermatologist for approrpriate management
