I've had this boil that healed a while back, but now there's this hard lump left behind. It's not hurting or anything, but it does itch sometimes. It's been like this for about three months now. Is this something I should be worried about, or will it eventually just go away on its own?

You may have developed a residual lump or scar tissue after the boil healed. To help reduce the itching and possibly reduce the lump, you can try using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream on the area. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the lump twice a day for about a week. If the itching persists or if the lump does not improve, you may need to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I've noticed some purple dots on the head of my penis and the skin is also really dry. The foreskin doesn't seem smooth at all. What could be causing this, and is there anything I should do about it? I'm getting a bit worried.

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of irritation or an infection, possibly related to dry skin or a dermatological condition. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for an examination to rule out any underlying issues such as balanitis or other skin conditions. In the meantime, keeping the area clean and moisturized may help, but it's best to get a professional evaluation.
