Question

I'm a 28-year-old guy with dark skin, and I've noticed a lot of blackish spots all over my body. I've tried some home remedies to get a lighter skin tone, but nothing seems to be working. What are some skin-whitening tips for men like me? Will these changes be permanent? How long does it usually take to see results?

Question

I'm dealing with a strong fishy odor coming from my groin area, and it's really uncomfortable. There's also constant itching and some red spots, and it doesn't seem to go away during the day. What could be causing this and how can I make it better?

Question

A couple of days ago I had unprotected oral sex with a prostitute and also had regular condom-protected sex, fingering, and kissing on her breasts and mouth. Since then, the tip of my penis has been itchy. It was more noticeable on the first day and got a bit better on the second day. Today, it's not so much itchy but I just have this kind of sensation. Afterward, about 15 minutes later, I used Betadine surgical scrub multiple times that day and once yesterday on that area and even some inside the tip, along with soap and water. Should I be worried and see a healthcare professional? Am I at risk for anything?
