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.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allHey, I was prescribed gris odt 250mg for a fungal infection on my back. But when I went to get it, they gave me grisovin FP 250mg because they were out of stock of the original one. I'm a little worried and just want to know if it's okay to use this as a substitute? Can you help me out here?
Grisovin FP (250mg) is a suitable alternative to Gris ODT (250mg) for fungal infections since they have the same active ingredient (Griseofulvin) and similar formulation (oral tablets). Consult your doctor and monitor your response to the medication.

I've noticed that I've got these small white spots on my hand, right where the upper and lower skin meet. They've been around for quite some time, and at first, there were only a few, but now I've got a lot more. I'm a bit worried about what might be causing them and if it's something I should be concerned about. Could you shed some light on what's going on?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
