I'm using Sebamed sunscreen 50 but noticed that it's only SPF 30, and my oily, sensitive skin tends to look dull on some days when I use it, while other days it seems fine. I'm considering switching to a gel-based sunscreen like Sunprotek because it has good reviews. I'm just not sure about the quality and ingredients, and whether it's a physical or chemical sunscreen. Can you help clarify this?

I'm noticing some yellow pimples on my testicles. There's no pain, but it's making me a bit anxious. Can you tell me what this could be? Should I be concerned?

The yellow pimples on your testicles are likely Fordyce spots, sebaceous cysts, or epididymal cysts, which are usually harmless and painless; however, to rule out other conditions like folliculitis, balanitis, or a sexually transmitted infection, consult a urologist

I'm seeing this hickey-like mark on my leg, and I'm a bit worried. It doesn't itch or feel raised, but it just kind of appears and disappears on its own. Could this be a sign of something else going on?
