I'm dealing with some dry and peeling skin on my scrotum, and it seems to be spreading. I've been using ketoconazole cream, but it isn't really helping. What could be going on here, and should I try a different treatment or see a doctor?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to remove hair from my private parts. I used a Philips trimmer, but it was painful. I also thought about using hair removal cream, but I'm concerned about getting an infection or having an allergic reaction. Do you have any advice on how I can safely remove hair down there?

I've got a raised mole on my upper lip and really want it gone, but I'm worried about scarring. A couple of doctors mentioned that removing it with a laser might leave a scar the size of the mole, and I'm trying to avoid that. Is there any way to get it off with little to no scarring? I'm sharing a picture with this. Any advice would be appreciated.

One option to consider is a surgical excision where the mole is cut out with a scalpel. This method can minimize scarring if done carefully by a skilled dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Another option is cryotherapy, where the mole is frozen off using liquid nitrogen. This method may also result in minimal scarring. I recommend consulting with a dermatologist to discuss these options and determine the best course of action for your specific case.
