Question

I've noticed a couple of small black spots on my scrotum that are about the size of a pimple. I'm really worried because I don't know what these could be. It's a bit embarrassing to talk about, but I recently shaved down there and it even bled from one of the spots. It healed but then the spot formed again. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Possible Causes* 1. *Ingrown hairs*: Shaving can cause hairs to become trapped, leading to inflammation, bleeding, and scarring. 2. *Folliculitis*: An infection of the hair follicles, which can cause redness, swelling, and pus-filled bumps. 3. *Seborrheic keratoses*: Benign growths that can appear as small, dark spots. 4. *Melanotic macules*: Small, benign areas of pigmentation.

Question

I'm getting married in 20 days and I've noticed my ear piercing holes are really small. Most earrings don't fit through them. Is there a safe way to make the holes bigger, or should I consider getting new piercings? Would love some advice.

Question

I'm thinking of using Retino A 0.05 with Deriva CMS to tone it down a bit. Do you think that'll help with the flaking and redness that everyone talks about in the beginning? I'm really worried because I have to go to work and can't be dealing with a peeling face at the office. Could this combo work for me?

Question

I'm really worried about my skin recently. I had treatment for ringworm last month, but now I've noticed bristles near one of the spots where the ringworm was. This has been happening for the past two weeks. Could this be related to a condition like harpics disease? I'd really appreciate some guidance on what I should do next.
