I've been experiencing some itching on the foreskin of my penis and noticed these bumps that get bigger when I scratch them. The itching is mostly at night when I'm in bed. I havent had any sexual activity yet. I'm also feeling itchy on my elbows and fingers, both on my hands and feet. Is this eczema or something else? And what can I do to treat it?

View allI'm noticing some baldness on the top back of my head and I just stumbled upon this FollicleRx product. I'm curious whether it's actually safe to use. Do I need a prescription to buy it, or can I just get it over the counter? Any advice would be really helpful.
A dermat opinion is advised before taking medication.

I've noticed a small lump in my armpit, and it's swollen and hurts a bit when I move my arm. Should I be worried about this?
It sounds like you may have a swollen lymph node in your armpit, which can be caused by various reasons such as infection or inflammation. To help reduce the swelling and pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the area for 10-15 minutes a few times a day. If the swelling and pain persist or worsen, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been noticing these dark spots on my upper body, like on my shoulders, upper chest, under my arms, upper back, and even on top of my arms. It itches a lot whenever I start sweating. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what's causing this. Could it be something serious or is it a common skin issue? What's the best way to deal with this itchiness and the spots?
Could be a condition called Tinea Versicolor. This is a fungal infection of the skin that can result in discolored patches. You can use over-the-counter antifungal creams such as Clotrimazole cream applied twice daily for 2-4 weeks. In severe cases, oral antifungal medications like Fluconazole may be prescribed by a doctor. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid excessive sweating.
