View allI recently found out that the black spots on my scrotum are called angiokeratoma. I'm worried if these could lead to something like Fabry disease? I heard that laser treatment is recommended to remove them, but Im nervous about any future sexual complications this might cause. Also, I've noticed that these spots seem less noticeable during the day and get a bit more visible at night. If I do decide on laser treatment, Im curious if they might come back again. Is there any other way to remove them, like using creams maybe?
No need to worry get them removed through laser treatment as it ist bes t option and follow your doctors advice

I'm curious about the safety of using Veet hair removal wax cream. Is it bad for the skin at all, like could it lead to cancer or other skin problems? I've got quite a bit of hair and I'm looking to find a safe way to remove it. Your advice would be super helpful!
Veet hair removal wax cream is generally safe for use on the skin for hair removal. It is unlikely to cause cancer or serious skin issues when used according to the instructions. However, some individuals may experience skin irritation, redness, or allergic reactions to the ingredients in the cream. It is always recommended to do a patch test before using it on larger areas of the skin. If you do not experience any adverse reactions, you can proceed with using the cream. Make sure to follow the recommended usage and application instructions to minimize any potential risks.
