I've noticed I've developed a bunch of new tiny moles, each about 1mm or smaller, on my hands and legs. I'm a bit concerned and curious about what might be causing these new moles to appear. Any ideas on what this could mean?

The development of new moles, especially in areas like hands and legs, can be due to various factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and hormonal changes. It is important to monitor these moles for any changes in size, shape, or color. To help prevent further development of new moles, it is recommended to avoid excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen regularly.

I'm really worried about this itchy groin I've had for the past couple of years. I tried using clobenategm last month for about ten days, and it seemed to clear up, but then the itch came back worse and started burning too! Now, I'm trying candidb clotrimazole gel but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Do you have any advice on what I should do next? I'm really desperate for a solution.

Consult a dermatologist for further guidance, as the recurrence and worsening of symptoms may indicate a more complex condition
