I'm noticing that the skin on my penis has been feeling rough lately, and I've developed quite a few Fordyce spots. They aren't painful, but it's definitely uncomfortable for me. What can I do to soften the rough penile foreskin? Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.

I'm trying to figure out which is better for fighting acne: Perobar 2.5 or Dermadew Acne Soap. I've come across some reviews that mention these soaps might darken the normal color of the face. Is there any truth to that?
Between Perobar 2.5% and Dermadew Acne Soap, Perobar 2.5% is likely more effective against acne. _Perobar 2.5%_ 1. _Contains benzoyl peroxide_: A well-known acne-fighting ingredient that kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and unclogs pores. 2. _Stronger formulation_: 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is a relatively strong concentration, making it more effective against acne. _Dermadew Acne Soap_ 1. _Milder formulation_: Dermadew Acne Soap may contain milder ingredients, such as tea tree oil or salicylic acid, which are less effective against severe acne. 2. _May not be as effective_: Dermadew Acne Soap might not be as effective as Perobar 2.5% in reducing acne severity. _Skin Darkening Concerns_ 1. _Unlikely to darken skin_: Neither Perobar 2.5% nor Dermadew Acne Soap is likely to darken your skin tone. 2. _Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)_: If you experience acne inflammation, it may lead to PIH, causing temporary dark spots. To minimize the risk of PIH, use sunscreen daily, avoid picking or popping pimples, and follow a consistent skincare routine.

I'm planning to get PRP hair treatment soon, and I'm a bit concerned about whether I need to use any topical medications during or after the treatment. Could you let me know if that's necessary and what exactly I should expect in terms of medication?

Here's what you need to know: _Benefits of Topical Medications_ 1. _Enhanced hair growth_: Topicals like minoxidil (Rogaine) or low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can stimulate hair growth. 2. _Improved treatment outcomes_: Combining PRP with topical medications may lead to better results. _Common Topical Medications_ 1. _Minoxidil (Rogaine)_: Stimulates hair growth and slows down hair loss. 2. _Finasteride (Propecia)_: Slows down hair loss and promotes hair growth (only for male pattern baldness).
