I'm a bit worried about this small lump I've noticed under my skin that I think might be a lipoma. It doesn't hurt or feel uncomfortable, but I'm wondering if there are natural ways to get rid of it? I've read different things online, and it's all a bit overwhelming. Could you help me understand how to deal with it naturally?

While there are no proven natural cures for lipomas, some people suggest remedies like apple cider vinegar, turmeric, or flaxseed oil for their anti-inflammatory properties. However, it's important to consult with a doctor before trying any home treatments.

I've got these white patches on my neck and shoulder again after 5 years. It's really puzzling why they've returned after such a long time. I've been using the same cream and dusting powder from before, Clotrimazole Powder and Fourderm, for about a month now, but theres just no sign of them getting better. Could you help me figure out what's going on, and what else I might try? Would appreciate any insights you have!

The recurrence of white patches on your neck and shoulder area after 5 years could be due to a fungal infection, such as pityriasis versicolor, which can be triggered by factors like hormonal changes, stress, or sun exposure; despite using Clotrimazole Powder and Fourderm cream, the lack of improvement suggests you may need to consult a dermatologist for a revised diagnosis and treatment plan, which may include alternative antifungal medications, lifestyle changes, or other therapies to address the underlying cause.
