Question

I've noticed some small, painless bumps on the foreskin of my penis that don't itch or bother me at all. They've been there for over a year now, and Im just wondering what these might be. I've attached a photo for reference. Could you let me know what these bumps are?

May be Fordyce spots. Fordyce spots are harmless, small, yellow-white or skin-colored spots that can appear on the shaft of the penis, the labia, or the vermilion border of the lips. They are a type of ectopic sebaceous gland and are considered a normal variation. There is no specific treatment necessary for Fordyce spots, as they are benign and do not cause any symptoms. However, if you are concerned about the appearance or if they are causing you distress, you may consider consulting a dermatologist.

I'm a bit worried because I started taking the Hair bless tablet and using the regain topical solution for my hair fall back in October 2020. I've noticed that my hair volume has increased, and theres some regrowth too, but Im still dealing with hair fall. The thing thats freaking me out is that the medication seems to be causing hair growth in other places, like my stomach. Is it safe for me to keep taking the Hair bless tablet, or should I stop and just stick with the minoxidil topical solution? What do you think?

I'm 21 and my beard isn't coming in like my friends' beards are. They all seem to have full, nice-looking beards, and mine just won't grow. What can I do to help my beard grow faster and look good?

Question

I've had this lump next to my nipple for what feels like forever, and I'm not really sure how long it's been there. It's kinda weird because the lump seems to get taller when my nipple gets hard, and when it's soft, the lump flattens out. It's not painful, doesn't move around, and it's pretty soft. I'm a bit worried. Why is this happening? Is it something I should be concerned about?
