I've been noticing there's a white spot on one of my nails lately. I have diabetes and hypertension, so I'm a bit worried. Could this be related, and how can I treat it? What would you suggest I do next?

Question

I've noticed a lump on the skin of my penis shaft that just appeared out of nowhere. It's not painful or itchy, which is a relief, but I'm a bit worried about what it could mean. I haven't done anything that might have caused it, except maybe I masturbated about 23 days ago. Any idea what this could be? Should I be concerned?

Question

My mom's been using Medisalic ointment during the winter months, and she's noticed that brown spots start showing up on her face. It's weird because she uses the same ointment in the summer and doesn't get these spots. Her skin's also pretty dry. Could you help us figure out why this might be happening? We're really puzzled about what's going on.
