I've had this lump on my forehead for a couple of months now, and I think it might need a little incision to get rid of it. Should I be seeing a dermatologist for this, or would a general physician be better? I'm not really sure who to go to, and I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.

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.
