Hey doc, a few days ago, I was trying to get rid of some color on my forehead by rubbing it with a cloth, and now I've ended up with a small wound. It's healed, but there's this little black mark left behind. Any advice on how to get rid of this mark on my forehead?

I'm a bit worried about a brown mole on the shaft of my penis. It's around 57mm in diameter and has an irregular border. It started out at about 2mm just five months ago. Do you think I should get it checked out by a doctor?
