I'm really concerned because I've noticed a black spot on the head of my penis and around it for about 4 years now. There's no itching, but I'm really eager to get them removed. Can you please help me figure out what this might be and how I can get rid of it?

May be due to a condition called Fordyce spots, which are harmless and do not require treatment. However, if you wish to remove them, you can consider using topical treatments such as Retin-A cream or laser therapy. Please consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and management.

I had a leech bite on my toe about a week ago while I was hiking, and now it's still really itchy and the area feels hard. What kind of doctor should I consult about this? Are there any good home remedies I could try in the meantime to help with the itching and hardness?

I've noticed some lumps in my mons pubis area about a month after I shaved there. They're not very big, just a bit red, and they only hurt when I touch or gently push them. I'm thinking it might be an abscess from shaving. I'm not married, so I'm wondering if there's an antibiotic cream you could recommend or if you have any other suggestions for what might help?

I've been dealing with some itching around my scrotum and penis area, and a urologist said its mild folliculitis baaltod. He suggested using a moisturizer and prescribed me Zocef 500, which I took for three days, then repeated for another three. I've also been applying Fourderm. It's been three weeks now, and while the itching is better, it's not completely gone. What should I do next?
