I'm having some noticeable bumps around my genitals, and whenever I try to get intimate, my partner gets really freaked out by them. I'm worried about how they look and really want to find a way to make them less visible. Any advice on what I might do to handle this?

Fordyce spots on the penis are harmless and there is no pressing medical reason to seek treatment. However, the appearance of Fordyce spots on and around the penis can be distressing, worrying or embarrassing to sufferers. It's important to realize that Fordyce spots are harmless, painless, not infectious and do not require treatment. Their removal should be for cosmetic reasons only.Fordyce spots are much more noticeable when the skin is stretched, and may only be seen during an erection.

View allI've been dealing with these constant headaches and my whole body just won't stop itching. Honestly, it feels like I'm getting poked by a thousand needles, and I've noticed some red marks popping up in a few spots. It's getting worse with each passing day. Could you figure out what's going on with me and what I should do?
You may be experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction. To address the itching and redness, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily. For the headache, you can take Acetaminophen (500mg) as needed for pain relief. However, it is important to identify and avoid the trigger causing your symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 28-year-old woman dealing with vitiligo. Back in 2014, it was almost gone, and I got married, which was great, but about a year and a half later, it returned. Now, I'm going through treatment again with steroids, and the patches keep spreading. I don't have a child yet, and I'm worried because my husband is concerned that if we have a child, they might also suffer from vitiligo. What are our options?
While vitiligo currently doesn't have a permanent cure, there are several treatment options to help manage the condition and improve the appearance of the skin. It's essential to work closely with your healthcare provider to find the treatment plan that works best for you. Keep in mind that results may vary, and a combination of treatments may be needed.
