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 got a keloid on my chest and I've been told to use Betadine solution and then nadoxin ointment on it. After I clean it up with the Betadine, should I just go ahead and put on the nadoxin right away? Or do I need to rinse it with warm water before applying the ointment?
You can apply the nadoxin ointment immediately after cleaning with Betadine solution. There is no need to clean it with warm water before applying the ointment. Just make sure to gently pat the area dry after cleaning with Betadine before applying the ointment.

I've been having some serious issues with irritation on my penis head, and it's been peeling since a few days ago. It's really uncomfortable, especially when I pee because it's painful. Just yesterday, the skin on the edge of the penis sheath started peeling as well, and I'm seeing this white sticky discharge. Plus, the left tip of my lips seems to be showing a similar kind of problem. I'm really worried about what's going on. Can you help figure out what's happening or suggest what I should do next?
You may be experiencing a fungal infection. I would recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected areas twice a day for about 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a day for 7 days. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid any irritants like scented soaps or lotions.

I've been using Tretinoin cream for about a month now to tackle my hyperpigmentation, but instead of seeing improvements, my face and neck are getting darker. I'm really concerned and wondering if this increased darkness is normal and will eventually go away on its own. Could you share some insights on what might be happening?
Yes,Continue same treatment.
