Can I start using Skinlite cream again on my tan spots? I tried it last year and it worked wonders, but then my face got really dark, and I had to see a doctor to get my original complexion back. After a family trip to Mumbai in June, I got pretty tanned. Is it okay to apply Skinlite on alternate days to those dark areas, or should I be wary of any side effects?

I've noticed a lump on the skin of my penis shaft that just appeared out of nowhere. It's not painful or itchy, which is a relief, but I'm a bit worried about what it could mean. I haven't done anything that might have caused it, except maybe I masturbated about 23 days ago. Any idea what this could be? Should I be concerned?

I've been experiencing itching on my hands and legs for the past week, but there's no redness or visible spots on my skin. It seems to start the day after I drink alcohol and hasn't stopped since. I checked online, and it suggests that internal illness might show up first as itchy skin. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Itching on hands and legs without visible redness or spots, triggered by alcohol consumption, could be related to various internal factors, such as liver or kidney issues, allergic reactions, or nutrient deficiencies, and while Google searches can provide insights, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for personalized evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment, as they will likely order blood tests, medical history, and physical examination to determine the underlying cause of your itching sensation.

I'm Bibek, and I'm 18 years old. I've read lots of articles about boosting beard growth, but unfortunately, they've all come up short so far. I'm genuinely curiousdoes applying sperm on my face really help with growing a beard? Could you shed some light on this for me?

Applying sperm on the face is a common myth with no scientific basis for increasing beard growth. In fact, it's not recommended due to potential skin irritation and infection risks.
