I'm really concerned about my hair after an accident a month ago. I got stitches on my scalp and I'm worried about whether hair will grow back on the scar and around it. It seems like my hair is falling out more every day. Is there any treatment available other than surgery?

I've noticed 34 painless bumps in my genital area that seem to be spreading. Should I consider surgery to remove them?

It's crucial to see a doctor for these genital bumps, especially if they are spreading. While they could be harmless, such as skin tags or ingrown hairs, they could also be a sign of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) like genital warts or molluscum contagiosum. Surgery isn't always the first or best approach, and a doctor can determine the cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment, which might include medication, freezing, or other methods.
