I'm a bit worried because I noticed a small boil starting on my penis. It's still early, and there's no pus yet, but I'm wondering if it's okay to use Tbact cream on it. Is that a good idea, or should I do something else?

I'm currently taking hormone tablets for my irregular periods, and I'm about to start Sotret 20 mg. Could Sotret cause any more delays in my period? I'm a bit concerned and would love your advice.

I'm really worried about this situation. I used podowart paint on my warts, and after about four days, the warts did fall off, but now my foreskin is swollen, red, and there's a brown discharge coming from my penis. It's painful, and there's been a bit of bleeding starting too. I saw a doctor who prescribed an antibiotic, but it hasn't helped with the pain or bleeding yet. Plus, I'm dealing with diabetes. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?

Why is the skin on the upper part of my ear turning black with discoloration? I'm not sure if I should see a dermatologist or an ear specialist about this. How can I make that area match my natural skin color?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can occur after inflammation or injury to the skin. To help clear the discoloration and match it with your actual skin color, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF on the affected area can help prevent further darkening of the skin. You can try using a sunscreen like Sunstop 30 lotion and reapply it every few hours when exposed to sunlight.
