Accepted Answer

Steatocystoma does: not respond well to facial creams, and it is typically not on the face. You need to see dermatologist for treatment, and often extraction with prescription meds is best

Question 2

how worse can steatocystoma multiplex get? is it deadly? is there any chance it can be treated with a cream?

Accepted Answer

Not deadly..: This is a skin condition where sebaceous glands are encapsulated inside multiple cysts and can run in families as a hereditary condition. These lesions are not deadly but can cause cosmetic damage. Usually creams do not help much but instead removing or aspiration(of the inflamed ones) is the treatment of choice. Follow up with a Deramtologist for treatment of this condition.

Question 4

i have steatocystoma multiplex on my balls and it started to grow smaller under the skin on the back of my penis
whats the cure for this ?

Accepted Answer

Maybe laser therapy?: Sounds like a hard problem to get rid of. The wiki site (http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/steatocystoma_multiplex) has a summary of treatments tried, like cryo (freezing), surgery, needle aspiration, curretting, but nothing sounds like a cure. Maybe one can consult local urologists and dermatologists to see who might have experience in using lasers to treat steatocystoma multiplex.

Question 10

are there any alternative treatments for rabies?

Accepted Answer

No: Since there's very little standard treatment for rabies once the disease has begun, it's hard to talk about "alternative treatments."  someone with rabies should be hospitalized.  There have been a few cases of survival with an induced coma.  The most important way to deal with rabies is to give human rabies immunoglobulin (hrig) and Rabies Vaccine after exposure, before the onset of disease.
