Lipoma is a benign tumor composed of fatty tissue that typically grows slowly under the skin. They are generally soft to the touch and appear on the torso, arms, or thighs. They can be removed through a minor surgery if they become painful or for cosmetic reasons. An incision is made over the lipoma to make it possible to carefully dissect it from the its place of attachment. Local anesthesia is used to keep the patient comfortable.

A cyst is a closed sac like structure that can form in various tissues in the body. It is usually filled with fluid or semi solid material. Cysts often don't present symptoms but may become infected and cause pain and swelling. In our clinic we will examine diagnose the type of cyst and then depending on the diagnosis will remove the cyst using the right method surgically. In this minor skin surgery, a small cut is made on the cyst and the doctor is able to remove the contents and its outer sac. The entire cyst is removed in order to prevent the chances of recurrence.

Benign moles and warts, are harmless growths on the skin that typically appear as small, raised brownish spots. They are usually round or oval in shape and can vary in size. While benign moles are generally not a concern, it's important to monitor any changes in their appearance. Regular skin checks can help ensure they remain healthy and unchanged. The removal of this involves minor surgery with local anaesthesia.

Hairloss

Hair loss, medically known as alopecia, refers to the partial or complete loss of hair from the scalp or body. It can happen gradually or suddenly and may be temporary or permanent.

Causes of Male Baldness

The most common form of hair loss in men is male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia. It typically presents as a receding hairline and thinning on the crown.

Key causes include:

Genetics: A hereditary condition passed down from either parent. If male relatives have experienced baldness, the likelihood increases.
Hormones: Specifically, a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) plays a central role. DHT shrinks hair follicles over time, leading to thinner hair and eventually no growth.
Age: Hair growth naturally slows with age, and follicles may stop producing new hairs.
Medical conditions or medications: Less commonly, hair loss may result from thyroid disorders, scalp infections, or side effects of medications.

Psychosocial Impact of Hair Loss

Hair loss, particularly in men, is a common condition that can carry significant psychosocial consequences. While it is not physically harmful in most cases, the visible nature of hair thinning or balding often affects individuals beyond the cosmetic level.

Psychological and Social Concerns:

Altered self-image: Hair is closely associated with youth, vitality, and attractiveness in many cultures. Loss of hair can therefore disrupt an individual's self-perception.
Reduced self-esteem: Men experiencing hair loss frequently report diminished confidence, especially when hair loss occurs at an early age.
Anxiety and avoidance behaviors: Concerns about appearance may lead some individuals to avoid social interaction, public settings, or professional opportunities.
Emotional distress: Persistent hair loss has been associated with increased levels of stress, frustration, and in some cases, symptoms of depression or body dysmorphic disorder.
Impact on quality of life: The emotional burden of hair loss can interfere with daily functioning, interpersonal relationships, and overall well-being.
