I'm living in Chennai and have been dealing with pearly penile papules for about 15 years now. Even though they don't cause any pain, they're like small white pimples around the head of my circumcised penis. I recently tried using toothpaste to dry them out, and it seemed like they got smaller when the skin peeled off after a week. But after about a month, they came back just like before. I've heard about CO2 laser treatments that might help remove them. Are there any dermatologists in Chennai who can offer this kind of treatment? I'm really looking to figure this out.

Can be effectively treated with CO2 laser therapy. In Chennai, you can consult with a dermatologist who specializes in laser treatments for this condition. One common brand of CO2 laser used for this purpose is the Lumenis UltraPulse. The dermatologist will determine the appropriate dosage and number of sessions required for the treatment.

I've got this small hard lump in my cheek under the skin. You can't really see it, but I can feel it when I touch it. I went to the doctor, and they mentioned it might be pus or fat-filled and suggested I take Augmentin. Do you think this is normal? Could it be a lipoma?
