I'm a 22-year-old and I've noticed stretch marks all over my stomach. They're even extending down to my mons pubis area. When I touch them, they feel kind of hollow. I'm really worried they might get worse. Is having stretch marks in that area something to be concerned about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Stretch marks on the mons pubis and outer vagina area are common and are usually not a threat to your health. To help reduce the appearance of stretch marks and prevent further increase, you can try using a topical cream containing Tretinoin. Apply a thin layer of Tretinoin cream on the affected areas once daily. Additionally, you can also use a moisturizer containing Hyaluronic Acid to keep the skin hydrated and improve its elasticity. Remember to consult with a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I'm starting to notice a lot of grey hairs popping up on my head and I'm a bit worried. I saw a dermatologist who gave me some scalp lotions and oral medicine, and also suggested I eat more dates. I'm curious, what's causing this sudden change? Is there a way to get my hair back to normal? Would love some advice on what to do next.

I'm feeling really worried about these pearly penile papules and I'm looking for some advice. Are there any home remedies or treatments you can suggest? Also, do I need any specific medicine to get rid of them?
Pearly penile papules (PPP) are harmless, but for aesthetic concerns, consider consulting a dermatologist for professional advice; some home remedies like tea tree oil, castor oil, and aloe vera gel may help reduce inflammation, but there's limited scientific evidence for their effectiveness; medical treatments like carbon dioxide laser therapy, cryotherapy, or radiosurgery may be recommended by a dermatologist, but over-the-counter (OTC) medicines are not typically advised for PPP removal.
