Could white patches on my hips be concerning?

It might be a common skin condition called pityriasis alba. This isn't something to worry about. Pityriasis alba can lead to pale patches on the skin, mainly on the face, neck, and arms. You can see them better in summer when your skin is darker. Dryness is what makes the skin turn lighter than it’s supposed to be, the reason for this happening is mostly because of dryness. You might also want to consider moisturizing your skin more often with lotion, or drinking plenty of water helps too. If there is no change after doing all these things then go to a dermatologist who will advise on treatment methods for this condition.

Why do I keep getting pimples after sugar consumption?

You get pimples when the pores on your skin get blocked by oil and dead cells. An extra breakout might be a result of eating too much sugar. Softly washing your face every day could help relieve acne. Besides, say no to sweet stuff. Finally, use acne products that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid as ingredients. All the same, you should know that seeing any changes may take a while. You can also visit a dermatologist for solutions to your acne.

Do I have a degenerating Lipoma on my belly?

This hard mass might be a lipoma, which is usually harmless and consists of fat cells. These growths mainly develop under the skin and grow slowly over time. Although it is good that you have had a scan, sometimes further tests are necessary for conclusive results. However, if it is very painful or bothers you a lot, consider consulting with a surgeon who may recommend its removal.
