I've noticed some pimples or bumps on my penis for the past month. They're not painful, but I'm really worried about what might be causing them. Is this something serious, or should I be doing something to treat it?

Without a physical examination, it is difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. However, if these bumps are due to a non-infectious cause such as Fordyce spots or pearly penile papules, no treatment may be necessary. If they are due to a skin condition or infection, topical antibiotics like Bacitracin or Neosporin may be recommended. It is important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation.

I've been having a really annoying issue with my scalp lately. It's super itchy and flaky, and there's a bunch of hair falling out. On top of that, it's like I'm getting these grainy, salt-like particles on my scalp that itch as well. It's honestly driving me nuts because my scalp feels dirty just a day after I wash it. I've been using Head & Shoulders but it's not helping. What could be going on with my scalp? Any advice on how to fix this?
