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've been dealing with acne scars for a while now and I remember using Clinagel which had Clindamycin phosphate 1% and allantoin, and it actually worked really well for me. But it seems like it's not available anymore. Could you suggest a similar alternative that just includes these two ingredients? I'm really looking for something as effective.
