Question

I'm a bit concerned because I've had dark spots on my feet for the past 5 years. There's no pain or other health issues that I've noticed over the years. Could you help me understand why this might be happening?

Can be due to various reasons such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, sun exposure, or even certain medical conditions. To help lighten these dark spots, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply a thin layer on the affected areas once daily. Additionally, wearing sunscreen on your feet daily can prevent further darkening of the spots.

Question

I've been dealing with some issues for the past 10 months involving my penis. I'm experiencing symptoms like khaijal, danesu, jankhujli, and a burning sensation after I pee. It's really uncomfortable and I'm not sure what's causing all of this. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I might do about it?

I'm noticing these little purple dots on my chin, almost like a bruise, but I haven't been hit or anything. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Should I be concerned?

Question

I'm dealing with a really intense burning feeling between my upper thigh and groin area. There's no rash or redness, but I've already tried using clotrimazole powder and washed the area with Savlon, and it's not helping at all. This happened a few weeks ago too but went away after I applied the powder. Now it feels way more severe and there's barely any relief. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
