I've been dealing with acne and pimples on my arms and back for a few months now. A friend suggested using salicylix acid ointment, but it hasn't helped much. Any other remedies you'd recommend? I'm really looking for something effective because it's been bothering me quite a bit.

I'm really worried about a mole on my forehead near my eyebrows. It's been inflamed, and there's a red area around it. I've noticed pus coming out, and even though I've squeezed it a couple of times, the pus just keeps coming back. I've tried using tea tree oil and medications like nicotinamide and clindamycin, but nothing seems to be helping. Could there be a chance it's something serious, possibly cancerous?

Hey, so I noticed this red spot on my foreskin a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't itchy at first, but now it seems like it's spread around my penis and it's started itching. I'm really worried it might be an STD or something. Any idea what this could be?
