I started going to the gym back in November 2015, and now it's been about 56 months. I've noticed some stretch marks appearing near my armpit area. I've talked to my nutritionist and gym trainer about it, and even did some Googling. It seems like these marks might be popping up because my body is growing or adding more muscle. Does that sound right, or could there be another reason behind them? Should I see a dermatologist about this, or would a sports nutritionist be better to consult with? Any advice would be appreciated!

I've noticed these pearly penile papules on my penis for about two months now and I'm really concerned. Whats the best treatment for this?

They are a normal anatomical variation and not a disease or sexually transmitted infection (STI). PPP is harmless, does not require treatment, and does not cause any long-term health issues. However, if they bother you cosmetically or cause psychological distress, there are treatment options available.

How should I apply CANDID TV SUSPENSION for these small white patches on my face? The dermatologist said it's tinea versicolor. I'm a bit concerned about using it on facial skin. Is there anything specific I need to do or watch out for?

To use Candid TV Suspension for tinea versicolor on the face, apply a thin layer to the affected area, gently massaging it in, twice a day for 2-4 weeks, while avoiding eye contact and taking sun protection measures, and follow up with your dermatologist to monitor progress.
