I'm noticing some small pimples on my penis and I'm a bit worried about what they could be. I'm wondering if they might be Fordyce spots, but I'm not entirely sure. Should I consult a doctor about this, and if so, which type of doctor should I see?

Fordyce spots are a common condition that can appear as small, pale, red, or white bumps on the skin. If you suspect you have Fordyce spots, you can consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and confirmation. In some cases, no treatment is necessary, but if you are experiencing any discomfort or want them removed for cosmetic reasons, your dermatologist may recommend topical treatments or procedures like laser therapy.

How do you treat body rash?

We need to determine the cause of rash and then treat accordingly. If you get a red rash with itching , it may be mostly due to an allergy which can be relieved by applying Moisturiser, wet cloth or ice pack to the affected area. You may need to take some antihistamine medications too under doctor's supervision.

I've been going for swimming classes lately, and I've noticed that my skin is getting tanned even though I'm using sunscreen. I'm really hoping to get rid of this tan quickly. Can you suggest any effective detanning creams or something I can apply on my hands and face to help fade the tan?

You can use sunscreen based creams and good moisturizers for the same and visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

I'm dealing with a recurring itching issue in my scrotum that's been going on for about three years. I noticed it went away when I used dexoderm cream, but now it's coming back. It's not overwhelming, but it can get pretty uncomfortable at times. What could be causing this, and should I keep using the same cream or try something else?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a recurring fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting underwear, and avoiding irritants like scented soaps can help prevent further irritation.
