I've been using Tenovate for a couple of years to help make my skin fairer. But if I skip just one day, my skin becomes dull and dry, my face turns red, and I feel a burning sensation along with rashes. Could you advise me on what kind of treatment or alternatives I should consider?

What's the best way to change skin from dark to white medically? I've heard about laser treatments and cosmetic surgery but not sure which one works better or is safer. Are there any side effects I should know about?

It's important to understand that medically altering skin tone to become lighter is a complex issue. While laser treatments and chemical peels can be effective in lightening specific areas of hyperpigmentation, they don't fundamentally change your skin's natural color. Additionally, cosmetic surgery, particularly dermabrasion or laser resurfacing, can be used to address hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone but can also have risks and side effects.

I recently had stents placed in both my ureters and they were there for a week after my RIRS procedure. After the stents were removed, I tried to masturbate after a couple of days because I felt the urge, but I ended up having this weird experience where it felt like sperm was coming out but nothing actually did; it was just dry. Should I be worried about this or is it something that can happen?

After stent removal, it's normal to experience temporary changes in ejaculation, and the "dry" sensation could be due to inflammation, scarring, or residual swelling, so consult your urologist to rule out any complications or blockages

I've been dealing with genital warts for about a year now and have tried various treatments including seeing a doctor and using home remedies like garlic and ginger. I keep removing them, but they come back after a few weeks or months. Is this something Ill have to deal with permanently? Could the warts spread to other parts of my body?

Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be persistent. While there is no permanent cure for HPV, there are treatments available to manage the symptoms. One effective medication for genital warts is "Aldara cream," which contains imiquimod. You can apply a thin layer of Aldara cream on the warts before bedtime, three times a week for up to 16 weeks. This can help reduce the size and spread of the warts. It is important to note that genital warts can spread to other parts of the body through skin-to-skin contact, so it is essential to take precautions to prevent transmission. Additionally, practicing safe sex and maintaining good hygiene can help reduce the risk of spreading the virus. If you have concerns about the spread of warts on your body, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
