Ive been having these boil-like pimples in my suprapubic area again. I had the same issue about a year ago and it hung around for two years before disappearing on its own. Now, after about 9 months of being clear, theyve come back in the same spot. Im seeing about 10 of them now, and a couple have started growing on my penis too. Last year, I had a skin biopsy and the doctor said it wasnt cancerous, but Im worried since theyre popping up again. Im sexually active and I do drink whisky or beer pretty often. Can you tell me what this might be, what causes it, and if theres a permanent treatment for it?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotion above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I'm having this issue with my skin where the sides of my nose get flaky after I shower. They've also started turning dark and itchy. I've been using Pears soap for a long time, like over a year, and I'm not sure if that's causing it. I went to the doctor before, and they gave me a hyperpigmentation cream, but it hasn't really helped. What do you think could be causing this, or what should I try next?
