I'm 25 and have been using benzoyl peroxide for my acne for the past three months, both the cream and the face wash. Lately, I've started noticing some fine lines or wrinkles near my cheeks. Could the benzoyl peroxide be causing this, or is there something else I should be concerned about? I'm just a bit worried since I'm still quite young for wrinkles. What should I do?

I noticed a red bump on my penis with some white liquid coming out but it doesn't hurt could this be an ingrown hair is it something serious or do I need surgery to fix it
A red bump on the penis with a white liquid discharge, if painless, could be an ingrown hair. Ingrown hairs are usually harmless and will resolve on their own, but if they become infected, they may require medical attention. In most cases, they do not require surgery
