I've got a cut mark on my cheek ever since I was a kid, and now my beard doesn't grow in that spot. I'm really curious to know if there's any way to fix this or at least get the beard to grow there. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm a 36-year-old man with pearly penile papules on my glans, and I don't remember how long they've been there. What's the estimated cost for PPP removal, and what's the most affordable surgical option? How long does full recovery usually take, and where can I get this treated?
Pearly Penile Papules (PPPs) are generally harmless and don't require treatment, but can be removed for cosmetic reasons. The most affordable surgical options are typically cryotherapy (freezing) or excision with a scalpel, though laser treatments are also available. Costs vary, but can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the method and provider. Recovery usually takes a few weeks, and you can seek treatment from dermatologists or urologists

I've been using sofradex cream on my face for the past 15 years because my skin is really oily and I wanted to get rid of pimples. Now, I can't find the cream anywhere, and my face has started to get dry and itchy. The skin around my eyelids is drying out too, and I'm noticing wrinkles forming. I always applied the cream at night, and I'm worried about what to do next. Any advice on how to handle this situation?
