Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the details and attached photograph.
* The reason of mole in your case seems to be due to
- low immunity via immuno suppressant drug as Azoran
- possible side effect of Predmet 4 mg.
* My guidelines at present
- Wear loose, clean, cotton clothes.
- Avoid exposure to excess heat in direct sunlight.
- Keep the part clean with warm lukewarm water 15-20 minutes and make it soft.
- Gently apply apple cide vinegar soaked cotton over the mole for 5-7 minutes and
let it stay for further 20 minutes after cotton removal.
- Later cleanse it with sterile water.
- Repeat the procedure daily for a period of 4-6 weeks for best results.
- Primary itching relief with anti histamine as cetrizine or others.
- Discuss with your doctor regarding the same for dose alterations in current
medications with or without addition of other molecules.
Welcome for further assistance.
