View allI'm really concerned about my chest, it looks like I have man boobs and it's just not going away. I've tried all sorts of exercises but nothing seems to help. Could you recommend a good doctor for surgery or maybe give me some advice on what else I can do to fix this?
Consider consulting a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in gynecomastia surgery, and in the meantime, try exercises targeting the pectoral muscles, such as push-ups, dumbbell presses, and chest flys, while maintaining a healthy weight and hormone balance.

Can I apply oil before using ketoconazole shampoo? Or should I use a regular shampoo first, then follow it with the ketoconazole one? I'm a bit confused about whether it's okay to use it daily or if there's a recommended duration for how long I should use it.
Yes , continue same treatment as advised by the dermatologist.

I've been noticing some darkness on my lips and I'm considering a chemical peel to lighten them up. I'm curious, does a chemical peel really help with lip pigmentation? If it does work, is the effect going to be permanent or just temporary? I'm just not sure if its worth going through the procedure if the results won't last. Can you tell me more about what to expect?
Paracetamol During Breastfeeding _General Guidance_ 1. _Paracetamol is safe_: Paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen) is generally considered safe to take while breastfeeding. 2. _Low transfer to breast milk_: Paracetamol is transferred to breast milk in small amounts, which is unlikely to harm your 4-month-old baby. _Precautions and Recommendations_ 1. _Take the lowest effective dose_: Take the minimum dose required to manage your pain and fever. 2. _Monitor your baby_: Watch for any changes in your baby's behavior, such as fussiness, sleepiness, or refusal to feed. 3. _Consult your doctor or pediatrician_: Inform your healthcare provider about your medication and breastfeeding status. _Alternative Pain Relief Options_ 1. _Non-medication methods_: Try non-pharmacological methods like rest, hydration, and warm compresses to manage your pain and fever. 2. _Ibuprofen_: If paracetamol is not sufficient, you can consider taking ibuprofen, but consult your doctor or pediatrician first.
