I'm 23 now and have had this small lesion on one side of my scrotum since I was 14. Occasionally, I notice some black colored dead skin coming off it. I looked it up online, and it seems like it might be angiokeratoma. It's not painful, but I'm worried because it seems to be spreading slowly. Should I be concerned or get it checked out?

Question

I've been noticing something unusual after using a new towel. It left some lint on my penis, and even after drying with another towel, my skin became ashy and dry on one side. I tried using oils, but the dryness keeps coming back. Now, I've also noticed my scrotum has become dry and darker in color. What's going on here? Could the towel have caused this, or is it something else? I'm genuinely concerned and would appreciate any insight you might have.

I'm dealing with a psoriasis issue that I've had for about 15 years now, and it flares up only during the winter. I've never tried any medication because it usually disappears when summer comes around. It's a flaky kind of psoriasis. Could you please recommend any new treatments or medications that I should consider?
