I've got this wart near my left eye, and I was told that it might be wise to consider having it surgically removed with local anesthesia. It's preventative, in case it turns malignant in the future, but right now, it's not causing any trouble. Do you think it's a good idea to go ahead with the surgery? Since it's so close to my eye, is there any risk of nerve damage, or any other complications I should be aware of? Could it come back?

I've been dealing with a really itchy scrotum for the past few weeks, and it's driving me crazy. It seems to get worse after I touch it or whenever I sweat, like after sports or working out. I'm not sure if they're connected, but I've noticed the itchiness spreads to my legs, back thighs, and buttocks. Oddly enough, my chest never seems to itch. When I do scratch, the skin gets these raised bumps, but they fade after some time. The scrotum area experiences this too. It's gotten so bad that I've scratched it until it started to sting in the shower. What could be causing this, and how can I stop it?

If the problem persists despite home remedies or worsens, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional or a dermatologist. They may need to perform a skin examination, potentially test for fungal infections or other skin conditions, and provide a more targeted treatment plan. A prescription antifungal or topical steroid treatment might be needed if it's related to a fungal infection or dermatitis.

I've noticed 34 painless bumps in my genital area that seem to be spreading. Should I consider surgery to remove them?

It's crucial to see a doctor for these genital bumps, especially if they are spreading. While they could be harmless, such as skin tags or ingrown hairs, they could also be a sign of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) like genital warts or molluscum contagiosum. Surgery isn't always the first or best approach, and a doctor can determine the cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment, which might include medication, freezing, or other methods.
