Safe removal of congenital nevus in 7.5-year-old girl

Good day, I want to consult you regarding a congenital nevus and a female child aged 7.5 years. The nevus is visible at the back of the back, measuring 2-2.5cm vertically and 1-1.5cm horizontally. Is it safe to remove the nevus, is it possible to remove it completely, without leaving any cell that would continue to grow and become malignant. Is it safe in the sense that there is no risk of turning into melanoma if it is split? Thank you in advance for asking, Nice day

A birthmark that grows is calle­d congenital nevus. Most are harmle­ss, but removal could help if it bothers your child or risks be­coming melanoma (cancer). Talk to a dermatologist. If re­moval is best, they'll do it carefully to minimize­ any left cells that could maybe be­come cancerous. Watch for changes. Follow the doctor's advice­.

Pimple and Pimple marks in face

Female | 27

Pimple marks are small bumps that can be red, swollen, or have pus, the pinky-gray of the skin. These things are generated when the pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Pimple marks are dark or red spots left behind after a pimple goes away. In order to reduce your chances of getting pimples, you should wash your face regularly, stay away from oily products, and never pick or squeeze the pimples. Apply products that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to treat them.

Yes you can have budget creams in the form of moisturizer, pigment reduction cream containing polyhydroxy acids, and a good sunscreen with both UVA as well as UVB protection. For the scar, you can use antiscar gel containing silicon

My mother and brother have chicken pox. It's been 4 days and taking medicine. I have had this disease before. Is there any possibility of more coming as I am taking care of them? My father is on medication after his stroke. So, can he take preventive medicine? Is there any use in consuming it for so many days? Since we are all in one house, there is a common toilet. Cleaned with Dettol after each use. Is there a problem with that?

Female | 45

It's so cool that you worry about your family's health. As you have already had chicken pox, you are in all probabilities immune to it. Your dad who is in the process of stroke recovery should not use any preventive medicines on his own without consulting with the doctor. It is a good thing to wash the toilet with Dettol to reduce the possibility of the germs spreading. Pure, practicing the supreme rudiments and caring for one another will be enough to get by!

I think I have a fungal infection around my groin

Male | 20

You may have a fungus infection in your groin. It may result in scratching and irritation of the affected areas. I suggest you go to a dermatologist who can diagnose and cure your disease.

My daughter is 14 years old and was having a corn on her toe. We initially left it and did nothing , later we got a corn tape and changed it every 3-4 days within 2 weeks. Now the area has become white so we have not put any corn tape and left it open.

Female | 14

Corns, which are caused by the skin undergoing pressure or friction continuously, are the result of this. The white area may be a sign of skin healing. Try not to use the corn tape for the time being. Keep the area clean and dry. Wearing shoes that are a lot more comfortable should help to ease the pressure. If it doesn't improve, visit a foot specialist for further advice.

I have fungal infection ringworm

Male | 16

Ringworm is a cutaneous infection which a fungus causes. Symptoms such as red, itchy, and scaly spots that look like circles may occur on the skin. The ringworm can be transmitted through contact with infected people, pets, or objects like shared towels. Therapy involves antifungal creams or tablets. You can also prevent the spreading of the infection by keeping the area clean and dry.

I applied a sunnies face lipstick accidentally ( without examining the lipstick before because i had used it yesterday and it looked fine ) today there was some yellow thin patch on the top part of the lipstick , I wiped it off with water , applied face was ( ponds ) on my lips and then brushed my teeth. Is it okay? should I be concerned? I am not feeling uncomfortable. what should i do with the lipstick? I applied it on my hand ( path was removed after i applied on my lips ) and the texture was fine , with no rash. should I wait and see if the mold regrows? Also i store my lipsticks in dry cool place and i have never mixed it with any other lipstick i just bought it a month ago and used only a few times.

Female | 17

You used a lipstick that may have had some mold on it. Makeup products mold due to age or contamination sometimes. The yellow spot you noticed could be mold. You do not feel any discomfort, so you are probably fine. Always remember to wash the lipstick before using it again. You should also check for any changes on your lips and see a doctor if you notice something unusual.
