I'm a 36-year-old man with pearly penile papules on my glans, and I don't remember how long they've been there. What's the estimated cost for PPP removal, and what's the most affordable surgical option? How long does full recovery usually take, and where can I get this treated?

Pearly Penile Papules (PPPs) are generally harmless and don't require treatment, but can be removed for cosmetic reasons. The most affordable surgical options are typically cryotherapy (freezing) or excision with a scalpel, though laser treatments are also available. Costs vary, but can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the method and provider. Recovery usually takes a few weeks, and you can seek treatment from dermatologists or urologists

I'm really worried about these red, itchy, dry scars on my face that appeared after I cried a lot the other day. It's like wherever my tears rolled down, now it's all irritated and then it turned dark and still itchy. What can I do to get rid of this?
Gently cleanse and moisturize your skin to keep it hydrated and help the healing process. Use soothing ingredients like aloe vera, and apply sunscreen daily to prevent further pigmentation issues. If the rash persists, consider using a hydrocortisone cream for a short period to reduce inflammation. Be patient, as it may take time for the dark spots to fade. With proper care, the irritation and pigmentation should heal, but if things dont improve or worsen, a consultation with a dermatologist would be helpful.
