I've developed some moles near the base of my penis, and now they're appearing on the shaft as well. They've been there for about 34 years. They aren't painful or causing any issues, but I'm noticing they're getting bigger. Should I be worried about this? Could it be something serious? I'm looking for some medical guidance on what to do next.

I've noticed a white substance forming on the shaft of my penis whenever I pull back the skin, and this has been happening for the last 6 months. Also, I've realized that the hair on my scrotum has turned yellow and become thicker. I suspect this could be trichomycosis pubis. Can someone help me figure out what's going on or suggest any solutions?

Dermat opinion.

I've got around 13 to 15 lipomas on my hand and I'm really hoping to find a natural way to treat them without surgery. Are there any effective home remedies or lifestyle changes that might help shrink or get rid of them? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife and would prefer a gentler approach if possible. What options do I have?

No proven natural cure for lipomas; only surgery removes them‚Äîmonitor if small and non-painful.
