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 allI'm 39 years old and have been dealing with chickenpox for the last couple of days. The blisters are all over my body, especially on my face. I've heard about using Dettol antiseptic liquid for bathing, and I'm wondering if that's okay while I'm dealing with such severe symptoms. I'm just worried about whether it might irritate my skin more or if it could help sanitize those blisters a bit. Any advice would be really appreciated.
