If you're seeking lipoma treatment options beyond surgery to minimize scarring, several alternatives are available. These include steroid injections, fat-dissolving injections (lipolysis), cryotherapy, ultrasound therapy, and focused ultrasound therapy

Question

I've got this swelling around my nose where I got it pierced and it's been bugging me a bit. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to help it heal? And would it be a good idea to take out my nose ring and maybe use a tulsi stem on it for a bit? Any medication suggestions would be helpful too.

Question

I'm a 24-year-old guy and I'm really worried because I've got a red pimple on the head of my penis, and there's some fluid discharge from under the foreskin along with swelling. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?

Question

I've been dealing with this rash that appears on one or both of my upper thighs for years now. It's not always there, but when it shows up, it tends to stick around for months. It usually starts out as one or two small circles and then spreads to a much larger area over a week or two. It's not painful, just a bit elevated. It never scabs or blisters, though it only itches when I scratch it or something touches it. I find it quite unsightly and really want to figure out what this could be. Any ideas?
