I've got these pimple-like bumps on my scrotum. They don't itch or bleed, but when I saw a dermatologist, he said it's angiokeratoma. He assured me they're harmless and not sexually transmitted. He suggested laser treatment if I wanted to get them removed. I'm curious, does laser actually work to get rid of them? Also, if I go ahead with the laser treatment, will it show up in any medical tests, like when I'm applying for government jobs? Please help me understand what to expect.

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

I've got this strange rash on my arm that I noticed a few days ago. It's just one spot, and it's circular with a scaly edge, but the center is really red. I'm wondering what it might be. Any ideas?

There is a possibility that the rash you are describing is a ringworm infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Lotrimin Ultra twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
